Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Chloromethyl Ethyl Ether


 








 


 




 
Calculation of the nqcc tensor in chloromethyl ethyl ether GT was made here on the substitution structure of Hayashi and Kato [1].  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 - 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.
 
In Tables 1 - 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.  Øz,CCl (degrees) is the angle between the z-principal axis and the CCl bond direction.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as as estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
