An ab initio calculation of double zeta quality on glycyl-glycine at the crystal structure yielded nuclear quadrupole coupling constants at the peptide centres very close to experiment; Xzz -3.03, Xyy +2.14, Xxx +0.89 MHz. The first two couplings lie in the local π-direction, and along the C-N bond, respectively. At the NH⊕3 centre the values were less satisfactory, but the (low) positive value of Xzz was obtained, and lies relatively close to the N-C bond. The results suggest that similar calculations may be successful for other H-bonded systems, provided that aromatic systems are not involved.

Abstract The 14N nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structure in the rotational spectra of three isotopic species of methyl azide, CH3 14N3, CH3 15N14N2, and CH3 14N2 15N, has been resolved using microwave Fourier transform spectroscopy. The quadrupole coupling constants of 14N at all three positions have been evaluated and are compared with those from an ab initio calculation in the literature.Since the spectra of the substituted species have been obtained for the first time, they have provided new structural information: the rotational constants are consistent with a structure in which the NNN chain is slightly bent.

AbstractThe ab initio calculation of 33S nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC) for a range of S-containing compounds with S2, S4 and S6 bonding types is described. All of the calculations used a triple zeta valence + polarisation basis set (TZVP) of gaussian type orbitals; all of the molecules were studied at the TZVP equilibrium geometry. The electric field gradients (EFG) calculated were correlated with the experimental NQCC obtained by either microwave spectroscopy (MW), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) or NMR relaxation methods; although the experimental data cover a wide diversity of chemical types over a long period of time, the slope of the relationship between the EFG (qii) and the NQCC (χii) yields a value for the 33S atomic quadrupole moment of - 0.064 barn, very close to recent calculations with a large atomic basis set, and to experimental data. The relationship between the EFG tensor components and the internal molecular structure features is discussed for a diverse series of molecules.
