Chlorine and Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Bromoacetyl Chloride


 







 
 
Chlorine and bromine nqcc's in bromoacetyl chloride have been determined by Merke et al. [1].  
 
Calculation was made here of the nqcc's on a molecular structure given by PBE1PBE/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 - 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.

 


 




In Tables 1 - 2, the subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor. Subscripts x,y,z refer to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the c-axis.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc (percentage of average of absolute experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the computional model for calculation of the nqcc's.

Note:  Merke et al. report substitution coordinates for Cl and Br, from which I calculate Cl . . . Br = 4.4762 Å.  The PBE1PBE structure gives Cl . . . Br = 4.4598 Å.
