Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Dioxirane


 







 
 
Calculation was made of the 17O nqcc's in dioxirane on the substitution structure of Suenram and Lovas [1].   The nqcc's are given in Table 1,  structure parameters in Table 2.

 


 





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.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular symmetry plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
