Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in t-Butyl Iodide


 








 


 




Calculations of the 127I nuclear quadrupole coupling constant in t-butyl iodide were made on ropt molecular structures given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p), MP2/6-311+G(2d,p), and MP2/6-311+G(3d,3p) optimization.  These calculated eqQ are compared with the experimental value [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2; rotational constants in Table 3.
