“…If a molecule or a group of atoms librates about an n-fold symmetry axis, where n is equivalent to the number of potential minima, the frequency of librations v: in the harmonic approximation can be determined from [25] n where E, is the activation energy for the hindered rotation of the relevant molecule or atomic group, and I is the corresponding moment of inertia. kg m2 [26], and E, determined by us in this work equals to 44.3 kJ mol-'. Having performed the above-described calculations we get v: = v :, = 2.36 x 10" s-' (= 78.55 cm-'), 7; = 6.74 x s, and qk,/qZz = 1.63 x As follows from the above estimation, the modulated part of EFG on the resonating chlorine nuclei, due to the rotating ClO; groups makes up slightly less than 0.2% of the total EFG value.…”
