in gauche Iodomethyl Methyl Ether


 







 
 
Calculation of the iodine nqcc's in gauche iodomethyl methyl ether was made here on the substitution structure of Hayashi et al. [1].  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] in Tables 1-11.  Molecular structure parameters are given in Table 12.
 
In Tables 1-11, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Øz,CI (degrees) is the angle between the z-principal axis and the CI bond direction.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B1LYP/6-311G(df,p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
