Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 2-Methylaminoethanol


 








 








 


 





14N nqcc's in 2-methylaminoethanol were determined by Calabrese et al. [1], electric dipole moments by Penn and Buxton [2].


Calculation of the 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constant tensors, as well as the dipole miments, in each of the following conformers of the title molecule was made here on ropt molecular structures given by MP2/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311+G(df,pd) optimization.


 








Conformer gG'T


Conformer g'GG
























EgG'T < Eg'GG by 0.15 kJ/mole at MP2/6-311+G(df,pd) level of theory.

 









Calculated and experimental nitrogen nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 and 2, rotational constants and electric dipole moments in Table 3.  Optimized structure parameters are given here in Z-Matrix format.


In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Øz,NH  is angle between the z-principal axes of the nqcc tensor and the NH bond axis.  RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experiment diagonal nqcc's (percent of average magnitude of experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
