Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 3-Aminophenol


 








 








 


 





The microwave spectrum of 3-aminophenol was assigned by Filsinger et al. [1].  Rotational constants, dipole moments, and 14N nqcc's were determined for both cis and trans conformers.


 








cis-3-Aminophenol


trans-3-Aminophenol



























 









Calculation of the spectroscopic parameters was made on molecular structures given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.


In Tables 1 and 2 - which show the calculated nqcc tensors - subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  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 efg's/nqcc's.

Structure parameters are given in Z-matrix format in Table 3, rotational constants and dipole moments in Table 4.
