in Vinylcyanodiacetylene


 







 
 
Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in vinylcyanodiacetylene was made on a rc molecular structure derived ab initio as discussed here.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's of Thornwirth et al. [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, rotational constants 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 plane of the molecule.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the residual stand deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
