Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Pyridazine


 








 


















Nitrogen quadrupole coupling constants in pyridazine were calculated on an re structure derived by Esselman et al. [1], an ralpha (electron diffraction) structure determined by Almenningen et al. [2], and on a  B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized structure (this work).  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values of López et al. [3] in Tables 1 and 2.  Earlier determination of the nitrogen nqcc's had been made by Werner et al. [4].  Structure parameters are compared in Table 3.  In Table 4, ropt atomic coordinates are given.

 








In Tables 1 - 3, 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 nqcc's (percentage of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual stand deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
