Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Chloropentafluoroacetone


 







 
 
Calculations of the chlorine nqcc's in chloropentafluoroacetone were made on structures given by MP2/6-311+G(3df) optimization with approximate re C-C, CF, and C=O, and CCl bond lengths and by  MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization with approximate re C-C, CF, and C=O, and CCl bond lengths.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with experimental values [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular symmetry plane.  Øz,CCl (degrees) is the angle between the z-principal axis and the CCl axis.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percent of the average of the magnitudes of experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's (not taking into account inaccuracies in the structure parameters).
