Nitrogen and Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Pentachloropyridine


 







 

 


 




Calculation was made here of the nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's on the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized molecular structure.  These are given in Tables 1 and 4.  Structure parameters are given in Table 5, atomic coordinates in Table 6, and rotational constants in Table 7.
 
In Tables 1 and 4, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
