		in 5-Methylthiazole
	Assuming Cs symmetry for 5-methylthiazole, one methyl CH bond lies in the plane of the thiazole ring.  Calculation of the nitrogen and sulfur nqcc's was made here on B3PW91/6-31G(2d,2pd) optimized molecular structures corresponding to each of two possible orientations of the methyl group: The in-plane CH bond being either trans or cis with respect to the sulfur atom.  These calculated nitrogen nqcc's are compared in Tables 1 and 2 with the experimental nqcc's of Jäger and H.Mäder [1]. Calculated sulfur nqcc's are given in Tables 3 and 4.  Calculated nitrogen nqcc's in the 33S isotopomer are given in Table 5.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 6.
	Molecular energy:  Etrans < Ecis by 0.92 kcal/mol calculated at the B3PW91/6-31G(2d,2pd) level of theory, 0.97 kcal/mol at B3PW91/ 6-311+G(df,pd), 0.89 kcal/mol at B3LYP/6-311G(3df,3p), and 0.91 kcal/mol at B3LYP/TZV(3df,3p).
	In Tables 1 and 5, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts 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 plane of the molecule.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
