Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Bromocyclopentane


 








 








 


 





Calculation of bromine nuclear quadrupole coupling constant tensors in bromocyclopentane was made here on ropt molecular structures given by PBE1PBE/6-31G(3d,3p) and M06-2X/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization (assuming Cs symmetry) of each of the axial and equatorial conformers shown below:

equatorial



























 









 









Calculated and experimental [1] nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 and 2, rotational constants are compared in Table 3.  Structure parameters are given here in Z-matrix format.


 









In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; subscripts 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 B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
