Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 2-Bromopropane


 







 
 
Calculation was made here of the Br nqcc's in 2-bromopropane on the substitution structure of Ikeda et al. [1].  These are compared in Table 1 with the experimental nqcc's of Meyer et al. [2].  Structure parameters are given in Table 2.
 
In Table 1, 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 b-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 for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the bromine nqcc's.
