Deuterium


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in cis-trans Carbonic Acid


 







 
 
Deuterium nqcc's were measured in cis-trans H2CO3 by Mori et al (2011) [1].  A partial ro structure and an ab initio CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ ropt structure were determined also by Mori et al (2009) [2].
 
Calculations of the cis and trans deuterium nqcc's in HDCO3 were made on these ro and ropt structures.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.

 


 




In Tables 1 and 2, 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 for the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
