in syn-anti Butyryl Chloride


 







 
 
Chlorine nqcc's in the syn-anti conformer of butyryl chloride have been determined by Powoski, et al. [1].  Calculation was made here of the nqcc tensors on molecular structure given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p) and MP2/6-311+G(2d,p) optimization with approximate equilibrium (~ re) bond lengths derived as described here.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given 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.  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,2p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's (notwithstanding uncertainties in the optimized structures).
