Nitrogen and bromine nqcc's in 3-bromopyridine were calculated on a structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  In Table 1, the calculated nitrogen nqcc's are given.  In Table 2, the calculated bromine nqcc's are compared with the experimental values [1].  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; 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 difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percent of average absolute experimental nqcc).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
