The Molecular 0-Tensor, the Magnetic Susceptibility Anisotropy, and the Molecular Electric Quadrupole Moment Tensor of Monofluoroacetonitrile, a Rotational Zeeman Effect Study
Abstract The rotational Zeeman effect of H2F12C12C14N was observed at fields up to 20 kG (2 Tesla). The observed vibronic ground state expectation values for the molecular ^-values, the magnetic susceptibility anisotropies and the molecular electric quadrupole moments, all referred to the molecular principal inertia axes system, are: gaa= -0.03572 (11), gbb= -0.03438 (7), gcc= -0.03988 (6). 2ξaa- ξbb - ξcc = - 14.58 (10) • 10-6 erg/(G2 mole), 2ξaa- ξbb - ξcc= 1.60 (11) • 10-6 erg/(G2 mole), Qaa= -9.13 (6) DÅ, Qbb = 4M (7) DÅ, and Qcc = 4.96 (9) DÅ, respectively. The latter are in close agreement with the results of a restricted Hartree Fock self consistent field calculation with a basis of TZVP quality, which was carried out at the partial restructure determined earlier. Therefore the RHF/TZVP-value for the second electronic moment perpendicular to the heavy atom plane, <0|Σ c2c|0)RHF, was used as additional input to predict the molecular bulk susceptibility and the individual components of the magnetic susceptibility tensor
