Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in N-Acetylalainemethylester (AAME)


 








 








 


 





Calculation of the 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constant tensors in AAME was made here on ropt molecular structures given by B3P86/6-31G(d,p) and B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.


 









Calculated and experimental [1] nitrogen nqcc's are compared in Table 1, rotational constants in Table 2.  In Table 1, 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 experiment diagonal nqcc's (percent of average magnitude of 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.
