in 1-Chloropentafluorobenzene


 








 








 


 





The chlorine nqcc tensor in 1-chloropentafluorobenzene was determined by Osthoff et al. [1].   Calculation of the nqcc tensor was made here on an ropt structure given by B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Table 1.  Structure parameters and rotational constants are given in Tables 2 and 3 respectively.

 








In Table 1,  RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
