Deuterium

in Phosphorus Trideuteride


 








 








 








Calculation of the deuterium nqcc's in phosphorus trideuteride was made on the equilibrium  structure of Canè et al. [1].  The results are given in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters and atomic coordinates are given in Tables 4 and 5.

 


 





Coordinate Systems

In Table 1, Xuu is the component of the nqcc tensor along the threefold symmetry axis.  Corresponding to the atomic coordinates given below in Table 3, Xvv and Xww are the components along the v- and w- axes for the D atom in the uv-plane.

The subscripts x,y,z refer to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the w-axis.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

In Tables 2 and 3, a,b,c are principal axes of the inertia tensor.
