The 14N Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Tensors, the Tensors of the Molecular Magnetic Susceptibility and the Molecular Electric Quadrupole Moment in Pyrazole: A High Resolution Rotational Zeeman Effect Study
AbstractHigh resolution zero field and Zeeman rotational spectra of 1 D-pyrazole have been studied by microwave Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The zero field hfs patterns allowed to improve the quadrupole coupling constants for both 14N nuclei. From the high field Zeeman multiplets the diagonal elements of the g-tensor were obtained as gaa= -0.1178(2),.gbb=-0.0762(2) and gcc = 0.0608 (2). The two independent components of the molecular magnetic susceptibility anisotropy in units of 10-6 erg G-2 mole- 1 are 2 ξaa - ξbb - ξcc= 52.69(32) and 2 ξbb - ξcc - ξaa = 39.32(29) were, a, b, c denote the molecular principal inertia axes. From these values the components of the molecular electric quadrupole moment tensor in units of 10-26 esu cm2 follow as Qaa = 5.84(22), Qbb= -0.58 (21) and Qcc= -5.27(38). Comparison with corresponding values for the undeuterated species leads to the complete tensors including their orientation with respect to the nuclear frame.
