Chlorine, Hydroxyl Deuterium, and Oxygen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in trans-3-Chlorophenol


 







 

 


 




Calculation of the chlorine, hydroxyl deuterium, and oxygen nqcc's in t-3-chlorophenol was made on the molecular structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  These nqcc's are given in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters and atomic coordinates are given in Tables 4 and 5, respectively.  Rotational constants are given in Table 6.  (Chlorine is 'trans' with respect to the hydroxyl hydrogen.)
 
In Tables 1 - 3, 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 plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.

In solid 3-chlorophenol, Batchelder et al. [1] observed in the pure nuclear quadrupole spectra (NQR) two pairs of deuteron lines corresponding to two crystallographically inequivalent sites.  At 77 K, Xzz and ETA for these are 219.39 kHz and 0.161, and 208.31 kHz and 0.152.
