Odd-even double mass differences (DMDs) of magic nuclei are found within an approach starting from the free NN interaction, accounting for particle-phonon coupling (PC) effects. We consider three PC effects: the phonon-induced effective interaction, the renormalization of the "ends" due to the pole PC contribution to the nucleon mass operator, and the change of the single-particle energies. The perturbation theory in g 2 L , where g L is the vertex of the creation of the L-multipole phonon, is used for PC calculations. PC corrections to single-particle energies are found with an approximate accounting for the tadpole diagram. Results for magic 40,48 Ca, 56,78 Ni, 100,132 Sn, and 208 Pb nuclei are presented. For the lighter part of this set of nuclei, from 40 Ca to 56 Ni, the cases divide approximately in half, between those where the PC corrections to DMD values are in good agreement with the data and the ones with the opposite result. In the major part of the cases of worsening description of DMD, a poor applicability of the perturbation theory for the induced interaction is the most probable reason of the phenomenon. For intermediate nuclei, 78 Ni and 100 Sn, there are no sufficiently accurate data on masses of nuclei necessary for finding DMD values. Finally, for heavier nuclei, 132 Sn and 208 Pb, PC corrections always result in better agreement with experiment.
