Nitrogen and Deuterium


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in 2-Hydroxypyridine


 








 








 








Nitrogen and Deuterium (O-D) nqcc's in 2-hydroxypyridine were determined by Tanjaroon et al. [1].

 








Calculation of the nqcc's was made here on molecular structures derived by B3P86/6-31G(d,p) and B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimizations.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4, rotational constants in Table 5.

 








In Tables 1 - 3, 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 nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen nqcc's; and of the B3LYP/6-31G(df,3p) model for calculation of the deuterium nqcc's.
