Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Bromoacetyl Fluoride


 








 








 








Bromine nqcc's in bromoacetyl fluoride have been determined by van Eijck and Stolwijk [1].  

 








Calculation was made here of the nqcc's on a molecular structure given by PBE1PBE/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.


 


 





In Tables 1 and 2, the subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor.  Subscripts x,y,z refer to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the c-axis.  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 (percentage of the average of absolute experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
