in cis-Methyl Nitrite



 








 









Calculation of the 14N nqcc's in cis-methyl nitrite was made here on an rs molecular structure derived by  Turner et al. [1].












Calculated and experimental nqcc's [2,3] are compared in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2, centrifugal distortion constants in Table 3.  In Table 1, 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.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  RMS is the root measn square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's.  RSD is the residual standard deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the efg's/nqcc's.
