Chlorine and Nitrogen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 2-Chloroacrylonitrile


 







 
 
Calculation of the chlorine and nitrogen nqcc's in 2-chloroacrylonitrile was made on a molecular structure derived by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization with empirically corrected bond lengths.  These nqcc's are compared in Tables 1-4 with the experimental values of Kisiel and Pszczólkowski [1].  Structure parameters are given in Table 5.
 
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.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.  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 average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual stand deviation of calibration of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
