Nitrogen and Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 3-Chloropyridine


 







 

 


 




Chlorine and nitrogen nqcc's in 3-chloropyridine were measured by Heineking and Dreizler [1].  Earlier measurements were reported by Brown and J.Matouskova [2], Sharma and S.Doraiswany [3], and Chatterjee and Ghosh [4].
 
Calculation of the nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's were made here 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.
