Calculation was made here of the deuterium nqcc tensor in HOF on the equilibrium structure of Halonen and Ha [1].  These calculated nqcc's are given in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2.
 
In Table 1, the subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, the subscripts x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-axis.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the B3LYP/6-31G(df,3p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
