Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 2,6-Difluoropyridine


 








 








 








Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in 2,6-difluoropyridine was made on the substitution structure of  Stiefvater [1], and on a structure obtained by optimization at the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory.  These are compared in Tables 1 and 2 with the experimental nqcc's of Dijk et al. [2].  Structure parameters are compared in Table 3.  Substitution coordinates are given in Table 4.  Rotational constants are compared in Table 5, quartic centrifugal distortion constants in Table 6.


 








Subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
