Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Perfluoroethyl Chloride


 







 
 
Calculation of the chlorine nqcc tensor in perfluoroethyl chloride was made on a molecular structure given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization (ropt), and on same structure but with ~re CCl, C-C, and CF bond lengths.  (Also, see Calculation of Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants on Approximate Equilibrium Structures: Ethanes.)
 
Calculated nqcc tensors are compared with experimental values [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.  Rotational constants and dipole moments (given by B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) calculation) are given in Tables 4 and 5.  Quartic centrifugal distortion constants, calculated and experimental, are given in Table 6.
 
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.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's.
