in 4-Cyanopyridine


 








 








14N nqcc's in 4-cyanopyridine were first determined by Heineking and Dreizler [1] and, subsequently, under conditions of high resolution, by Vogt et al. [2].


 









Calculation was made here of the nqcc's on a structure optimized at the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory, and on an reSE structure derived in ref. [2].  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [2] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants in Table 4.

 








In Tables 1 and 2, RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percent of average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
