Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 1,1-Dichlorocyclopropane


 







 
 
Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in 1,1-dichlorocyclopropane was made on the substitution structure of Flygare et al. [1], and on an ropt structure obtained by MP2/6-311+G(2d,p) optimization.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 3.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts 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 plane.  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's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's.

The angle between the two z-axes is larger than the ClCCl angle.  This is typical of  the XCl2 dichloride moiety.
