Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 3,5-Difluoropyridine


 








 








 








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