Nitrogen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Cyclopropyl Cyanosilane



 


















Nitrogen nqcc's in the following cis and gauche conformers of cyclopropyl cyanosilane were determined by Seifert et al. [1]. 












cis (Cs)

gauche (C1)








































 








Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc tensors in each conformer was made here on molecular ropt structures given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) and mPW1PW91/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Tables 1and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Z-matrix format in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.

 








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.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  RMS is the root measn square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd)  model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
