in Anabasine


 







 
 
Rotational spectra of two conformers of anabasine, syn and anti, have been investigated by Lesarri et al. [1].  Diagonal components of the 14N inertial axes nqcc tensors were determined.
 
Calculation of the N nqcc tensors was made here on molecular structures optimized at the  B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory.  These structures are shown below.  Calculation of the molecular PE at the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) level of theory on these optimized structures gives Esyn < Eanti by about 2.5 kJ/mol.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 and 2.  Rotational constants and dipole moments are given in Table 3.
 
syn anti
 
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.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percent of the average of the magnitudes of experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's (not taking into account inaccuracies in the structure parameters).
 
 
   




Table 1. 14N nqcc's in syn Anabasine (MHz).  N(6) is piperidinic nitrogen, N(20) is pyridinic.  Calculation was made on the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) opt structure.
