Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in trans-1-Chloro-2-Fluoroethane

 








 








 








Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in t-1-chloro-2-fluoroethane was made on a structure given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization (ropt) and on this same structure but with empirically corrected CCl, C-C, and CF bond lengths (~ re).  See here.  These are compared with experimental values for 35Cl [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.

 








In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; 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 symmetry plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

In Table 1, RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percentage of the average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
