Calculation was made of the Br nqcc tensors in SiH3CH2Br and SiD3CH2Br on an ropt molecular structure given by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization, and on this same structure but with an empirically corrected CBr bond length, say ropt*.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4.
 
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.  The nqcc y-axis is chosen coincident with the inertia c-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 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/TZV(3df,3p) model for calculation of the bromine nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
