Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 1-Chloropropan-2-ol  (m-ga)

 








 








 








Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in 1-chloropropan-2-ol (m-ga) was made on structures derived ab initio by the methods of the Lille group, as described below.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Goldstein et al. [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Eigenvectors of the nqcc tensor are given in Table 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4.  Heavy atom coordinates and molecular rotational constants are given in Tables 5 and 6, respectively.

 








In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Øz,CCl (degrees) is the angle between the z-axis of the nqcc tensor and the CCl bond axis.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

 








RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's.

* Here and in Table 2, the algebraic signs of the off-diagonal nqcc's correspond to the atomic a,b,c coordinates given in Table 5.  The experimental off-diagonal nqcc's are absolute values.

Molecular Structure

 








Structures (1) and (2):  The molecular structure was optimized at the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory.  The optimized CC single bond length was then corrected using the equation obtained from linear regression analysis of the data given in Table IX of Ref. [2].  The CH bond lengths were corrected using r = 1.001 ropt, where ropt is obtained by MP2/6-31G(d,p) optimization [3].  

Structure (1):  The MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimized CCl bond length was corrected by linear regression analysis of the data given in Table 4 of Ref. [4].  C-O-H geometry and all interatomic angles are those given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimization.

Structure (2):  Same as (1) but with optimization made at the MP2/6-311+G(2d,p) level of theory.
