Bromine



Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants



in Bromine Pentafluoride



 









 


 






Calculation of bromine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants in bromine pentafluoride was made on ravg molecular structure of Robiette et al. [1]; and on ab initio structures given by MP2 and PBE1PBE optimization each in conjunction with 6-311+G(3df) and 6-31G(3df) bases.  These calculated eqQ's are compared with the experimental values [2] in Table 1.  Molecular structure parameters are given in Table 2.
