in Cyanoallene


 







 
 
Calculation of the 14N nqcc' in cyanoallene was made here on approximate equilibrium  molecular structures ~ re(1) and ~ re(2) (please visit the links for description of these structures).  These nqcc's are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are compared in Table 2, rotational constants 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 y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular Cs plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen nqcc's.
