CF3-CHBrCl



 




 
 


Chlorine and Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 1-Bromo-1-Chloro-2,2,2-Trifluoroethane


 







 
 
Calculation was made of the chlorine and bromine nqcc tensors in 1-bromo-1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (halothane) on  molecular structures given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimization with ~re bond lengths for C-C, CF, and CCl, with and without ~re bond length for CBr.  Calculated nqcc tensors are given in Tables 1 and 8.  Structure parameters are given in Table 9, atomic a,b,c coordinates in Table 10, and rotational constants in Table 11.
 
In Tables 1 - 8, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Øz,CCl and Øz,CBr (degrees) are angles between the z-principal axis and the CX bond axis.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the models for calculation of the chlorine and bromine nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's (uncertainties in the structure optimizations notwithstanding).
 
 
   







Table 1.  35Cl nqcc's in CF3-CH79BrCl (MHz).  Calculation was made (1) on the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimized structure with ~re bond lengths for C-C, CF, Cl, and CBr; and (2) on this same structure with ~re bond lengths for C-C, CF, and Cl (CBr bond length is the optimized value).
