in 2-Chloropyrimidine


 








 


 




Nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's in 2-chloropyrimidine were calculated on a molecular structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.   Chlorine nqcc's are compared with experimental values [1].  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4, atomic coordinates in Table 5.
