Bromine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in gauche-3-Bromopropene




(Allyl Bromide)




 








 


 





Bromine nqcc's in g-3-bromopropene were first determined in 1976 by Niide et al. [1], and subsequently redetermined in 2014 by McCabe and Shipman [2].


 








Calculation of the nqcc tensor was made here on molecular structures given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) and MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimizations; and on these same structures but with empirically corrected C-C, C=C, and CBr bond lengths.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values [2] in Tables 1 - 4.  Structure parameters are given in Table 5, rotational constants in Table 6.

 








In Tables 1 - 4, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Øz,CBr (degrees) is the angle between the z-principal axis and the CBr bond direction.  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 B1LYP/TZV(3df,p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
