Nitrogen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Quinoline and Isoquinoline


 







 
 
Nitrogen nqcc's in quinoline and isoquinoline were determined by Kisiel et al. [1].
 
Calculation of the nqcc's was made here on molecular structures given by B3P86/6-31G(d,p) and B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimizations.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared 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.  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 of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen nqcc's.
