Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in 2-fluoroacetamide (aka alpha-fluoroacetamide) was made here on molecular structures given by HF/6-311++G(3df,3pd) and HF/aug-cc-pVTZ optimizations.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [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; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
 
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen nqcc's.
