Nitrogen

Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Sulfur Dicyanide


 








 








Calculation of the 14N nqcc's in sulfur dicyanide was made on the rs/re structure of Demaison et al. [1] and on each of several structure types derived by Kisiel et al. [2], including an ropt structure given by CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values of Pierce et al. [3] in Tables 1 and 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, subscripts x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
