Arsenic


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Arsabenzene


 







 
 
Calculation was made here of the 75As nqcc's in arsabenzene on a structure optimized at the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Lattimer et al. [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are compared with the ED+MW derived parameters of Wong et al. [2] in Table 2.  Atomic coordinates are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.
 
In Table 1, RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percent of average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the PBE1PBE/6-311++G(3df,3pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.

Note:  Coupling constants calculated on the ED+MW structure are Xaa = - 180.0 MHz, Xbb = 51.9 MHz, and Xcc = 128.2 MHz.  RMS = 10.4 MHz (8.4 %).
