Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Formyl Chloride


 








 








 








Chlorine nqcc's in formyl chloride were calculated on the equilibrium structure of Davis and Gerry [1].  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1,2] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are shown 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 B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's. 

 








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.
