Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in gauche-2,3-Dichloropropene

 








 

 





Chlorine nqcc's in anti- and gauche-2,3-dichloropropene were determined by Dikkumbura et al. [1].  The results for gauche are given on this page.  See here for anti. 


 








Calculation of the chlorine nqcc tensors was made here on molecular structures given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization (ropt) and on this same structures but with empirically corrected bond lenghts for C-C, C=C, and CCl (reemp).  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 - 5.  Structure parameters are given in Table 6, rotational constants in Table 7.

 








In Tables 1 - 5, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  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 efg's/nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.

 








 








NOTE:  The experimental results given below in Tables 1 - 4 were derived here using Kisiel's program QDIAG.f and data given in Table 4.2 of Ref. [1].
