PF2Cl



 









Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Chlorodifluorophosphine


 







 
Chlorine nqcc's in PF2Cl were determined by Brittain et al. [1], which authors also determined an ro structure.
 
Calculation was made here of the nqcc's on the ro structure.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Table 1.  Molecular structure parameters are given in Table 2.

 


 




In Table 1, 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/6-311G(df,p) 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 b-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
