Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Pyrimidine


 







 
Nitrogen nqcc's in pyrimidine were calculated on the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized molecular structure, and on the heavy atom substitution structure of Kisiel et al. [1] with the CH parameters of the optimized structure.  These are compared with the experimental coupling constants [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  The structure parameters are compared in Table 3.  In Table 4, atomic coordinates are given for the ropt structure.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts 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 plane of the molecule.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
 
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percentage of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
