Calculation of the chlorine nqcc tensors in g-CF2Cl-C(=O)-O-CH3 was made here on molecular structures given by (1) MP2/6-311++G(d,p) and (2) PBE1PBE/6-311+G(3d,3p) optimization.  These nqcc's are compared with the experimental values [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Molecular structure parameters are given in Table 3, rotational constants and dipole moments in Table 4.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, 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.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Øz,CCl (degrees) is the angle between the z-principal axis and the CCl bond axis.
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
