Nitrogen nqcc's in urethane were determined by Motiyenko et al. [1].  Here, calculation was made of the nqcc's on a structure given by MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization.  Calculated and experimental nqcc's are compared in Table 1.    Structure parameters are given here in Z-matrix format.  Rotational constants and dipole moments are given in Table 2.


 








In Table 1, 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 of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nitrogen 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.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
