Nitrogen


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in cis-Ethanimine


 







 
 
Nitrogen nqcc's in cis-ethanimine were determined by Krause and Sutter [1].   Earlier measurements had been made by Lovas et al. [2].  Calculation of the nqcc's was made here on B3P86/ and MP2/6-311+G(3d,3p) optimized molecular structures.  These results are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Table 1.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 2, rotational constants in Table 3.
 
In Table 1, 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 B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's.
 
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 symmetry plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
