Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Fluoroiodoacetonitrile


 







 
 
Calculation was made of the N and I nqcc tensors in CHFICN on an ~re molecular structure given by (1) MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimization with  ~re C-C, CN, and CF bond lengths., and (2) MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization with  ~re C-C, CN, and CF bond lengths.  Calculated and experimental nqcc tensors are compared in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, 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.
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 of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
