Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in gauche-3-Bromo-1,1,1,2,2-Pentafluoropropane

 








 








Calculation of the Br nqcc's in gauche-3-bromo-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane was made here on a molecular structure (ropt) derived by MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization, and on this same structure but with empirically corrected bond lengths (~ re) as described here.  Calculated nqcc's are given in Tables 1 and 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; 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 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,3p) model for calculation of the bromine efg's/nqcc's.
