Introduction













In the Tables that follow, RSD is the residual standard deviation of the linear regression analysis of the calculated efg's versus the experimental nqcc's for the molecules given on the previous page.  This may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.  (Note: A RSD of 0.043 MHz is 1.5 % of the average absolute experimental nqcc for the molecules used for calibration.)  All three diagonal components of the efg tensors are plotted against the corresponding components of the experimental nqcc tensors. This assures, because the tensors are traceless, that the linear regression line pass through the origin.  The slope of this line is eQeff/h from which the value of Qeff is extracted. Qeff is the model dependent nuclear electric quadrupole moment effective for calculation of the nqcc's.  For comparison, the currently recommended Q for 17O is -25.58(22) mb.  It is our goal to reproduce accurately as well as efficiently the experimental nqcc's - not Q. It is sufficient - indeed, all that can be expected at the level of theory in this work - that Qeff and Q agree to within a few percent.












For the Dunning correlation consistent basis sets, G03 and EMSL indicate the source of the bases used for the calculation.  G03 is Gaussian 03, which contains these bases somewhat modified to increase computational efficiency.  EMSL is the online EMSL Basis Set Library.  cc-pCVTZ/cc-pVTZ is cc-pVTZ with extra functions - on only the oxygen atom - that are designed for core-valence correlation.












Polarization and diffuse functions used with the Alhrichs TZV bases are those developed for use with the Pople type bases.  The 6-311++G(3df,3p) and TZV++(3df,3p)) bases, for example, contain the same polarization and diffuse functions - same exponents and coefficients.


 
Alhrichs' QZVP bases are available at http://www.ipc.uni-karlsruhe.de/tch/tch1/index.de.html.



 






With the MP2 and MP3 methods, FC = frozen core, and FULL = all electron correlation.
