Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Vinyl Bromide


 







 
Hayashi et al. [1] determined the bromine nqcc's in vinyl bromide and derived a substitution molecular structure.  Calculation of the nqcc's was made on this structure.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2.
Zvereva-Loëte, et al. [2] have recently published several vinyl bromide structures.  A summary of calculations made on these structures is given in Table 3.  

 


 




In Table 1, the subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor.   Subscripts x,y,z refer to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the c-axis.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root measn square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
