Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 2-Bromopropene


 








 


 





 








Calculation of the Br nqcc tensors in 2-bromopropene was made here on molecular structures given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) and MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimizations; and on these same structures but with ~re C-C, C=C, and CBr bond lengths.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values [1] in Tables 1 - 4.  Structure parameters are given in Table 5, rotational constants in Table 6.

 








In Tables 1 - 4, 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,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
