Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in (Chloromethyl)cyclopropane


 








 








Complete nqcc tensors were determined by Heineking et al. [1] for both 35Cl and 37Cl in (chloromethyl)cyclopropane.

 








Calculation of the nqcc's was made here on a structure obtained by MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimization.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, atomic coordinates in Table 4, and rotational constants in Table 5.

 








In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Øz,CCl (degrees) is the angle between the principal z-axis of the nqcc tensor and the CCl bond axis.  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 of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.

* The algebraic signs of the off-diagonal components depend on the orientation of the molecule with respect to the positive/negative sense of the a,b,c axes.  Here, the algebraic signs correspond to the atomic a,b,c coordinates given in Table 4.
