Boron and Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 1-Chloroborepin


 








 








Calculation of the boron and chlorine nqcc's in 1-chloroborepin was made on a molecular structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization, assuming C2V symmetry.  The planarity of the molecule was demonstrated by microwave measurement of the inertial defect by Larsen et al. [1].  Boron and nitrogen nqcc'c were subsequently measured by Pejlovas et al. [2].  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, 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 model for calculation of the nqcc's:  B1LYP/6-31G(df,p) for boron, and B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) for chlorine.
