in Bromoferrocene


 








 








 








Calculation of the Br nqcc tensors in bromoferrocene was made on a partial ro structure derived by Drouin et al. [1], and on an ropt structure given by PBE1PBE/6-31G(df,pd) optimization.  These are compared with experimental nqcc tensors [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, rotational constanst in Table 3.


 








In Table 1, 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 c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular symmetry plane.  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 the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the bromine nqcc's.
