Title: The determination and assignment of a complete 14N quadrupole coupling tensor in liquid solution
Abstract: 14N line splittings in the spectrum of nitrobenzene (neat liquid) and metadinitrobenzene (dissolved in benzene), induced by an external electric field, have been used to determine the complete 14N quadrupole coupling tensor of these substances. Assuming that both molecules are rigid and planar, and that the quadrupole coupling tensors at the 14N nuclei are identical, the principal components in a local reference frame (x′, y′, z′) are (eQ/h)Vx′ x′ = ±0.34 MHz (eQ/h)Vy′y′= ±1.18 Hz and (eQ/h)Vz′z′ = ±1.52. The z′-direction is parallel to the CN bond and the y−direction is perpendicular to the plane of the nitrogroup. With these data the asymmetry parameter η = 0.55.
