in 1-Cyano-3-fluoro-but-1-ene


 







 
 
Nitrogen nqcc's in 1-cyano-3-fluoro-but-1-ene (CF eclisped) were determined by Kassi et al. [1].  Here, calculation was made of the nqcc's on a structure derived ab initio (see below).  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Table 1.  Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the nqcc tensor are given in Table 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3, atomic coordinates in Table 4, rotational constants in Table 5.
 
In Table 1, RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of the 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 nitrogen nqcc's.
 
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.

* The algebraic signs of the off-diagonal components depend on the orientation of the molecule with respect to a,b,c axes.  Here, the algebraic signs correspond to the atomic a,b,c coordinates given in Table 3.

Molecular Structure
 
The structure shown below was optimized at the MP2/6-31G(d,p) and MP2/6-311+G(d,p) levels of theory.  The optimized C-H, C-C, C=C, and C-F bond lengths were corrected according to the methods of the Lille group [2-4].  Angles were determined by freezing the corrected bond lengths and performing a partial optimization at the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory.
