in Methylcyanodiacetylene


 







 
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc in methylcyanodiacetylene was made on a molecular structures rc(1) and rc(2) derived ab initio as discussed below.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's [1] are compared in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, rotational constants in Table 3.
 
 
   







Table 1. 14N nqcc's in methylcyanodiacetylene (MHz).  Calculation was made on the rc(1) and rc(2) structures given below in Table 2.

rc(1):  For calculation of the CH, C-C, and C=C bond lengths, see here.   For calculation of the CC triple bonds, see here.  HCC angles are those given by MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimization.
rc(2):  MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimization with corrected bond lends.  See here.
