in trans Chloroglyoxal



 








 








 








Calculation of the chlorine nqcc tensors in trans chloroglyoxal was made here on a structure given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization with empirically derived approximate equilibrium bond lengths.  These nqcc's are given in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2; rotational constants, quartic centrifugal distortion constants, and dipole moments in Table 3.

 








In Table 1, 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.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the c-axis.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
