4-Cl-C6H4OH



 

 








Chlorine, Hydroxyl Deuterium, and Oxygen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 4-Chlorophenol


 







 

 


 




Calculation of chlorine, deuterium (OD), and oxygen nqcc's in 4-chlorophenol was made on the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized molecular structure.  These calculated coupling constants are given in Tables 1-3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4, atomic coordinates in Table 5, and rotational constants in Table 6.
 
In Tables 1-3, 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.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's.

In solid 4-chlorophenol, Batchelder et al. [1] observed in the pure nuclear quadrupole spectra (NQR) two pairs of deuteron lines corresponding to two crystallographically inequivalent sites.  The z-principal axis coupling constants and asymmetry parameters for these are 217.43 kHz and 0.132, and 210.37 kHz and 0.161.
