in syn-2-Nitrosopropene


 








 








 


 





The microwave spectrum of syn-2-nitosopropene was observed and assigned by Sakaizumi et al. [1].


 








Calculation of the 14N nqcc tensors was made here on ropt molecular structures given by B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,3pd) and MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters in Z-matrix format are compared in Table 2, rotational constants in Table 3.


 








In Table 1, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Ø is the angle between its subcripted parameters.


RMS is root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen efg's/nqcc's.
