Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in (E)-Chloroacetaldehyde Oxime


 







 
 
Chlorine nqcc's in (E)-chloroacetaldehyde oxime were determined by Sakaizumi et al. [1], who also derived a partial ro structure.
 
Calculation of the nqcc's was made here on this partial ro structure, and on an ropt structure given by MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization with ~re corrected CCl bond length.    The results are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, rotational constants in Table 3.

 







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.  Øz,CCl (degrees) is the angle between the principal z-axis of the nqcc tensor and the CCl bond axis.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's.
