127I nqcc's in cyclohexyl iodide were determined by Damiani et al. [1].
 
Calculation of the 127I nqcc tensor was made here on molecular structures given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p), MP2/6-311+G(2d,p), and MP2/6-311+G(3d,3p) optimizations.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4, rotational constants in Table 5.
 
In Tables 1 - 3, 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 of absolute experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B1LYP/6-311G(df,p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's (inaccuracies in molecular structures notwithstanding).
