in g-1-Cyanoperfluoropropane


 







 
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc tensor in the gauche conformer of 1-cyanoperfluoropropane was made here on approximate equilibrium structures given by (1) MP2/6-311+G(d,p) and (2) MP2/6-311+G(2d,p) optimizations each with MP2/6-311+G(d,p) approximate equilibrium bond lengths.  These nqcc's are given in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, rotational constants and dipole moments in Table 3.
 
In Table 1, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts 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 Cs plane of the molecule.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
