in Monobromomethylene


 







 
Calculation of the Br nqcc tensor in monobromomethylene was made here on the rm(1) structure of Chang et al. [1], and on an approximate equilibrium structure ~ re given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimization with empirically corrected CBr bond lenght.  These are compared in Tables 1 and 2 with the experimental nqcc's of Duan et al. [2].

 


 




In Tables 1 and 2, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor.   Subscripts x,y,z refer to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
 
RMS is the root measn square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
