Deuterium and Nitrogen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Nitric Acid


 








 








 








Deuterium and nitrogen nqcc's in normal and isotopic nitric acid have been reported by Ott et al. [1], Fliege et al. [2], and Albinus et al. [3].  Molecular structures were determined by Cox and Riveros [4], Cox et al. [5], Ghosh et al. [6], and Gutle et al. [7].

 








Calculation was made here of the deuterium and nitrogen nqcc's on the equilibrium structure of Gutle et al.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 - 7.  Equilibrium structure parameters are given in Table 8.

 








In Tables 1 - 7, 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 (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:  B3LYP/6-31G(df,3p) for deuterium, and B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) for nitrogen.
