in Fluorotribromosilane


 








 


 





 








The microwave spectrum of fluorotribromosilane was observed by Mitzlaff et al. [1], which authors derived an ro molecular structure.


Calculation was made here of the bromine nqcc's on the this structure.  The results are given in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, atomic coordinates in Table 3.

 








 








Coordinate Systems











Xuu is the component of the nqcc tensor along the threefold symmetry axis.  Corresponding to the atomic coordinates given below in Table 3, Xvv and Xww are the components along the v- and w- axes for the Br atom in the uv-plane.

Subscripts x,y,z refer to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the w-axis.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
