in n-Perfluorooctyl Cyanide gauche-anti


 







 
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in n-perfluorooctyl cyanide, GA was made on structures given by B3P86/6-31G(2d) optimization (ropt), and on this same structure but with empirically derived equilibrium CF, C-C, and CN bond lengths (~ re).  These calculated 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 principal axes of the inertia tensor; subscripts x,y,z to principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Øz,CN (degrees) is the angle between the principal z-axis of the nqcc tensor and the CN bond axis.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's (unertainties in the structures not-with-standing).
