in Dibromoacetonitrile


 







 

 







Calculation of N and Br nqcc tensors in bromoacetonitrile was made on structures given by (1) MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and (2) MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization, each with approximate equilibrium (~re) correction for CC, CN, and CBr bond lengths.  These nqcc's are given in Tables 1 - 5.  Structure parameters are given in Table 6, rotational constants in Table 7.
 
In Tables 1 - 5, subscripts a,b,c refer to principal axes of the inertia tensor, subscripts x,y,z to principal axes of the  nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
RSD is the residual standard deviation of the calibration of the computional model for calculation of the nqcc's.
