Nitrogen and Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Chloropyrazine


 







 

 


 




The molecular structure of chloropyrazine was optimized at the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory.  Cs symmetry was assumed.  On this structure, calculation was made of the nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's. The nitrogen nqcc's are given in Tables 1 and 2. The calculated chlorine nqcc's are compared with the experimental values of Akavipa, Su, and Cook [1] in Table 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4, atomic coordinates in Table 5, and rotational constants in Table 6.
 
In Tables 1 - 3, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; 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 molecular plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  RMS is the root mean square differene between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percent of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
