Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Cyclopropyl Bromide


 







 
 
Calculation of the bromine nqcc's in cyclopropyl bromide was made on molecular structures given by MP2 and PBE1PBE optimizations each in conjunction with 6-31G(3d,3p) and aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) bases.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 - 4.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 5, rotational constants in Table 6.
 
In Tables 1 - 4, 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 b-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular symmetry 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,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
