in 2-Azetidinone


 







 

 


 




Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc tensor in 2-azetidinone was made here on the ab initio re and partial rs molecular structures of Demyk et al. [1].  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 2.
 
In Table 1, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
 
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percent of average absolute experimental nqcc).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen nqcc's.
