in Chlorodifluoromethane


 








 








 








Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in chlorodifluoromethane was made on the substitution and average molecular structures of Cramb et al. [1], and on ropt = CCSD(T)_AE/wCVQZ and reSE molecular structures of Vogt et al. [2].  These results are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Blanco et al. [3] for 35Cl and Cramb et al. for 37Cl in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are shown in Table 3.  Earlier investigations of the nqcc's and molecular structure were made by McLay and Mann [4] and Beeson, Weatherly, and Williams [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.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. 


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 for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine efg's/nqcc's.
