35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance of the N—Cl bond

Abstract

The 35Cl n.q.r. frequencies of seven N-chloro molecules are reported and with those of five additional molecules in the literature, interpreted using BEEM and BEEM-π. The frequency is dependent on the hybridization of the N atom: with tr1tr1tr1π2 hybridized N the 35Cl frequency is around 55 MHz, with tr1tr1tr2π1hybridized N around 46 MHz and with te1te1te1te2 hybridized N at 44 MHz.
