Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in N-Formylpyrrolidine


(1-Pyrrolidinecarboxaldehyde)


 








 









The microwave spectrum of N-Formylpyrrolidine was assigned and analyzed by Lee et al. [1].


 









Calculation was made here of the N nqcc tensor on ropt molecular structures given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) and B3LYP/cc-pVTZ optimization.  These nqcc's are compared with experimental values [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, rotational constants and dipole moments 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.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percent of average absolute experimental nqcc).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen efg's/nqcc's.
