in trans-Chlorobutyne


 







 
 
Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in t-chlorobutyne was made on a structure given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimization with empirical correction for the CCl, C-C, and the acetylenic CC bond lengths (~ re).  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Keske et al. [1] in Tables 1 - 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3; rotational constants in Table 4.
 
In Tables 1 - 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.  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 inertial axes nqcc's.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's.
