Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Thiourea


 







 
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc tensor in thiourea was made on the rs/ropt structure of Lesarri et al. [1], and on the semi-experimental equilibrium structure of Puzzarini [2].   These are compared in Tables 1 and 2 respectively with the experimental nqcc's [1].  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.  Experimental and calculated quartic centrifugal distortion constants are compared in Table 4.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, 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.
 
Subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
