Boron and Chlorine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in 1-Chloroborepin


 







 
Calculation of the boron and chlorine nqcc's in 1-chloroborepin was made on a molecular structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization, assuming C2V symmetry.  The planarity of the molecule was demonstrated by microwave measurement of the inertial defect by Larsen et al. [1].
 
In Table 1, RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's:  B1LYP/6-31G(df,p) for boron, and B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) for chlorine.
 

 








   







Table 1. Boron and Chlorine nqcc's in 1-Chloroborepin (MHz).  Calculation was made on the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized structure.  The a-axis is coincident with the B-Cl bond direction, the c-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.
