Bromine nqcc's in bromobenzene were first reported in 1971 by Caminati and Mirri [1], revisited in 2003 by Peebles and Peebles [2], and in 2007 by Dorosh et al. [3].
 
Bromine nqcc's were calculated here on B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) and PBE1PBE/6-31G(3d,3p) optimized molecular structures.  These are compared in Tables 1 and 2 with the experimental values [3].  Structure parameters are compared in Table 3.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, RMS is the root measn square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the computional model for calculation of the nqcc's.  ETA = (Xbb - Xcc)/Xaa = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
