Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Chloromethylgermane


 








 








 








Calculation of the chlorine nqcc's in chloromethylgermane was made on a structure derived by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimization (ropt), and on this same structure but with empirically corrected CCl bond length (ropt*).  These calculated nqcc's are compared with experimental values [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.


 








In Tables 1 and 2, 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 symmetry plane.  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 for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the chlorine efg's/nqcc's.
