Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 3-Cyanocyclopropene


 







 

 


 




Xcc for 14N in 3-cyanocyclopropene was determined by Su and Harmony [1].  Xaa and Xbb were not determined.
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's was made here on molecular structures given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) and MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimizations, the latter with correction for the CN bond length [2].  These are shown in Table 1.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 2, rotational constants in Table 3.
 
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.  Ø(degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen nqcc's.
