MOLECULAR G VALUES, MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY ANISOTROPIES, MOLECULAR QUADRUPOLE MOMENTS, AND SECOND MOMENT OF ELECTRONIC CHARGE DISTRIBUTION IN OCF2, CH2CF2, CIS-CHFCHF, AND CH2F2

The rotational molecular Zeeman effect is observed under high resolution and high magnetic fields in OCF2, CH2CF2, c-CH2CHF2, and CH2F2. The absolute values of the molecular g values (gaa, gbb, and g cc) and the signs and magnitudes of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropies [(2xaa-xbb-Xcc) and (2xX aa-Xcc)] in the principal inertial axes are obtained and listed. Arguments are presented to show that all molecular g values are negative leading to the molecular quadrupole moments. For ease of comparison, the values are given below in an arbitrary x, y, and z axis system. The x and y axes are in the heavy-atom molecular plane, and the x axis bisects the FCF angle in all of the molecules. The units of x are 10 erg/G2-mole and the units of Q xx are 10-26 esu-cm2.

The above results are used along with additivity relations for the second moment of the electronic charge distribution to give estimates of the diamagnetic and total magnetic susceptibility tensor elements.
