Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Chloroallene

 








 








 

 





Chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants in chloroallene were first determined by Moon et al. [1], subsequently revisited by Ogata and Niide [2].

 








Calculation of the nqcc's was made here on molecular structures given by PBE1PBE/6-31G(3d,3p) and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization, the latter with approximate equilibrium bond lengths.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] 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; subscripts 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 B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
