Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in 1,2,4-tricyanobenzene was made here on a molecular structure (Cs)  given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Hopf et al. [1] in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4, rotational constants and dipole moments in Table 5.
 
In Tables 1 - 3, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root mean square differene between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percent of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
