The molecular structure of 2,6-dichloropyrazine was optimized at the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory.  C2V symmetry was assumed.  On this structure, calculation was made of the nitrogen and chlorine nqcc's. The results are given in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, atomic coordinates in Table 4, and rotational constants in Table 5.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
