Calculation was made of the complete nqcc tensors for 35Cl and 37Cl in each of three structural conformers of 1,2-dichloropropane shown below:
 
G- A G+
 
 
 
Results for conformer A are given on this page.  To see the results for conformers G- and G+ click on the corresponding image.
 
Calculation was made on MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimized structures, each with approximate equilibrium bond lengths.  Calculated nqcc tensors are given below in Tables 1 - 5,  structure parameters in Table 6.  Rotational constants and electric dipole moments are given in Table 7.
 
Energies relative to conformer A are, for the MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimized structures, G+ = 5.50 and  G- = 6.07 kJ/mole; and for the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimized structures, G+ = 5.96 and  G- = 6.13 kJ/mole.
 
In Tables 1 - 5, 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 principal z-axis of the nqcc tensor and the CCl bond axis.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
