Proton coupling occurs through chemical bonds and affects identical NMR-active nuclei
Proton and nuclear spin coupling is mediated through chemical bonds and affects NMR-active nuclei, as demonstrated by numerous NMR studies and theoretical models.
The claim is specific and testable regarding the physical mechanism of spin-spin coupling and its manifestation on NMR-active nuclei. The retrieved literature clearly supports that scalar (spin-spin) coupling is transmitted through chemical bonds and affects NMR-active nuclei (such as protons and heteronuclei), with no papers presenting refuting evidence against this well-established physical principle.

Paper 0 details how scalar spin-spin coupling constants (J-coupling) operate through chemical bonds to reflect changes in specific distances and properties.
