Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Hydrazine


 







 
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in hydrazine was made on an equilibrium structure derived ab initio by Demaison et al. [1].  These are compared in Tables 1 and 2 respectively with the experimental nqcc's of Harmony and Baron [2] in (ND2)2 and Kasuya [3] in (NH2)2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.
 
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.  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 of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
