The individual gauge for localized orbitals (IGLO) and localized orbital/local origin (LORG) methods for the calculation of chemical shieldings are compared from their theoretical and computational viewpoints. A detailed analysis of the fluorine substituent effect in a series of fluoromethanes is given in terms of the IGLO and LORG bond contributions. The performance of both methods is discussed for molecular systems of fairly different sizes.
