Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants


in Cyanamide


 







 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc tensors in cyanamide was made on the reBO molecular structure of Damaison et al. [1].  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [2,3] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.
 
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 b-axis, these are perpendicular to the Cs 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 stand deviation of calibration of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
