The molecular structure of 2,3-difluoropyrazine was optimized at the B3P86/6-31G(3d,3p) level of theory.  C2V symmetry was assumed.  On this structure, calculation was made of the nitrogen nqcc's. The results are given in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, atomic coordinates in Table 3, and rotational constants in Table 4.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, 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 plane.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the model for calculation of the nqcc's.
