in tt-1-Chloro-3-Iodopropane


 







 
Calculation of the Cl and I nqcc tensors in tt-1-chloro-3-iodopropane (Cl and I are trans) was made here on a molecular structure given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p) with approximate equilibrium C-C, CF, and CH bond lengths.  These nqcc's are given 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.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
