(Pentanedinitrile)




 








 








Calculations of the nitrogen nqcc tensors in both GG and GT conformers of glutaronitrile were made on approximate equilibrium structures (~re) given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization with empirically corrected CC and CN bond lengths.   These calculated nqcc's for GG are given in Table 1, and for GT are compared with the experimental results of Hays, et al. [1] in Tables 2 -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.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.


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