Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 1-Aziridineethanol


 








 








 


 





The microwave spectrum of 1-aziridineethanol was investigated by Penn and Olsen [1].  Rotational constants and dipole moments were determined.


The 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constant tensor was calculated here on ropt molecular structures given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p) and B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.


 








These calculated nitrogen nqcc's are given in Table 1, rotational constants and electric dipole moments in Table 2.  Optimized structure parameters are given here in Z-Matrix format.


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.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
