Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Hypobromous Acid


 







 
Bromine nqcc's in HOBr and DOBr were determined by Koga et al. [1]; and in DOBr, by Cohen et al. [3]. Equilibrium molecular structures were determined by Cohen et al. [2,3].
 
Bromine nqcc's were calculated here on the re structures.  These are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 - 3.  Molecular structure parameters are given in Table 4.

 


 




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,3p) model for calculation of the 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 plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
