in 2-Chloropyridine


 








 








 

 





Chlorine and nitrogen nqcc's in 2-chloropyridine were determined by Meyer, Andersen, and Dreizler [1].  Previous measurements of the chlorine nqcc's had been reported by Walden and Cook [2], Scappini and Guarnieri [3], and Doraiswany and Sharma [4].

 








Calculation was made here of the nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's on the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized molecular structure.  These are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, atomic coordinates in Table 4, and rotational constants in Table 5.

 








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.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz. 

 RMS is the root mean square differene between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percent of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
