Calculation of the N and D nqcc tensors was made here on molecular structures given by CCSD(T)/cc-pV5Z optimization [1] and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization with empirically corrected approximate re bond length for CN.  Calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values [1] in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are compared 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.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
