Chlorine and Iodine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Chloroiodomethane


 








 

 





Iodine and chlorine nqcc tensors were determined in chloroiodomethane by Ohkoshi and Niide [1]; an ro structure was determined by Ohkoshi, Niide, and Takano [2].  This molecule was revisited by Bailleux et al. [3], which investigators redetermined the nqcc tensors and derived an ro structure.

 








Calculation of the nqcc's made here on the ro structure structure of Ref. [2] are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Ref. [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Calculation of the nqcc's made here on the ro structure structure of Ref. [3] are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Ref. [3] in Tables 3 and 4.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 5.

 








In Tables 1 - 4, 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.

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 models for calculation of the nqcc's:  For iodine, B1LYP/6-311G(df,p); and for chlorine, B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p).  Ahlrichs' TZV basis for iodine is available here.
