Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Methanesulfenyl Chloride


 








 


















Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in methanesulfenyl chloride was made on the ro structure of Guarnieri et al. [1].  These nqcc's are compared with the experimental [1] nqcc's in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4.

 








In Tables 1 - 3, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts 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 plane of the molecule.  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 (percent of average magnitude of experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the Cl nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
