Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 1,2-Chlorofluorobenzene


 







 
 
35Cl nqcc's in 1,2-chlorofluorobenzene were first determined in 1966 by Johansson and Oldeberg [1], and redetermined in 1996 by molecular beam Fourier Transform microwave spectroscopy by Onda et al. [2].
 
Chlorine nqcc's were calculated here on a molecular structure determined by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Table 1.  Structure parameters and atomic coordinates are given in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.
 
In Table 1, RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental 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.
 
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 plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

The nqcc z-axis makes an angle of 1.07o with the CCl bond axis.  In 1,2-dichlorobenzene, this angle is 1.21o.  On the other hand, in 1,3-dichlorobenzene and 1,3-chlorofluorobenzene, this angle is 0.09o and 0.06o respectively.  (Calculated nqcc's, ropt structures.)
