in 4-Chloropyridine


 







 

 


 




Nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's in 4-chloropyridine were first determined by Caminati and Forti [1], and revisited by Heineking and Dreizler [2].
 
Calculation was made here of the nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's on the molecular structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization. These are compared with the experimental values in Table 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, 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.
