127I and 14N nqcc's in INCO were determined by Jemson et al. [1], which authors also determined partial ro structures.
 
Calculation was made here of the nqcc's on these ro structures.  These calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 and 2.  Molecular structure parameters are given in Table 3.

 


 




In Tables 1 and 2, RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation for the B1LYP/6-311G(df,p) model for calculation of the iodine nqcc's, and B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's.  These may be taken as estimates of the uncertainties in the calculated nqcc's.
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 plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
