The following article appeared in Journal of Chemical Physics 2015, 142 and may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4913634 We present an updated semi-experimental absolute shielding scale for the 17O and 33S nuclei. These new shielding scales are based on accurate rotational microwave data for the spin–rotation constants of H2 17O [Puzzarini et al., J. Chem. Phys. 131, 234304 (2009)], C17O [Cazzoli et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 4, 3575 (2002)], and H2 33S [Helgaker et al., J. Chem. Phys. 139, 244308 (2013)] corrected both for v…
