Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in equatorial and axial morpholine (chair) was made here on molecular structures given by MP2/6-311+G(2d,2p) optimization and, for the equatorial conformer, on the effective structure of Indris, et al. [1].   These are compared with the experimental nqcc's for equatorial morpholine [1] in Tables 1 - 3.  Calculated nqcc's for the axial conformer are given in Tables 4 and 5.  MP2/6-311+G(2d,2p) structure parameters are shown in Table 6, rotational constants in Table 7.

 








In Tables 1 - 4, 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 b-axis, these are perpendicular to the molecular symmetry plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

 








RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the models for calculation of nitrogen and deuterium nqcc's.
