The complete 14N nqcc tensor in tert-butyl isocyanate was determined by Grabow et al. [1].


 









Calculation of the 14N nqcc tensor was made here on ropt molecular structures given by  B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,3pd) and MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2; rotational constants and electric dipole moments 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.  The nqcc x-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia b-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular plane.  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.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen efg's/nqcc's.
