Abstract
The accurate calculation of the isotropic (Jiso) and anisotropic (ΔJ) parts of indirect nuclear spin–spin coupling tensors is a stringent test for quantum chemistry, particularly for couplings involving heavy isotopes where relativistic effects and relativity – electron correlation cross terms are expected to play an important role. Experimental measurements on diatomic molecules in the gas phase offer ideal data for testing the success of computational approaches, since the data are essentially free from intermolecular effects, and precise coupling anisotropies may be reliably extracted in favourable cases. On the basis of available experimental molecular-beam coupling-tensor parameters for diatomic alkali metal halides, we tabulate known values of Jiso and, taking rotational–vibrational corrections to the direct dipolar coupling constant into account, precise values of ΔJ are determined for the ground rovibrational state. First-principles calculations of the coupling tensors were performed using a recently developed program based on hybrid density functional theory using the two-component relativistic zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA). Experimental trends in Jiso and ΔJ are reproduced with correlation coefficients of 0.993 and 0.977, respectively. Periodic trends in the coupling constants and their dependence on the product of the atomic numbers of the coupled nuclei are discussed. Finally, the hybrid functional method is also successfully tested against experimental data for a series of polyatomic xenon fluorides and group-17 fluorides.
