Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in gauche-1,2-Dichloroethane

 








 








 








Chlorine nqcc's in gauche-1,2-dichloroethane were first determined by Sugie et al. [1], and revisited by  Dikkumbura et al. [2].  Calculation was made here of the nqcc's on structures given by  MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization (ropt) and on this same structure but with empirically corrected CCl and C-C bond lengths (reemp).  Calculated and experimental [2] nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4, rotational constants in Table 5.

 








In Tables 1 - 3, 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 (degrees) is the angle between the principal z-axis of the nqcc tensor and the CCl bond axis.  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 of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the chlorine efg's/nqcc's.

 








 








NOTE:  The experimental results given below in Tables 1 - 3 were derived here using Kisiel's program QDIAG.f and data given in Ref. [2].

* The algebraic signs of the off-diagonal nqcc's depend on the orientation of the molecule with respect to positive/negative sense of the a,b,c axes.  Here,  Xac is negative, while for one Cl, Xab and Xbc are both positive, and for the other, both negative. The product XabXacXbc is negative, independent of positive/negative sense of a,b,c axes.

** Absolute value.
