As a result, the on-diagonal nuclear quadrupole coupling constants for the two chlorine atoms have been determined for all observed isotopologues. Additionally, <em>χ_bc</em> is determined for both chlorine atoms of the parent species. The quadrupole coupling tensors for the parent species have been diagonalised, noting some assumptions have been made pertaining to the off-diagonal nuclear quadrupole coupling constants in the principal axis system, to yield reasonable values of <em>χ_zz</em> and <em>η</em> which are then compared.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16367,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy","volume":"404 ","pages":"Article 111939"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142129717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
