	Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

	The rotational spectrum of the OIO radical has been observed for the first time by Miller and Cohen [1].  127I nqcc's and an ro structure have been determined.
	Calculation of the nqcc's in OIO was made here on the ro structure.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2.
	In Table 1, 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 for the B1LYP/6-311G(df,p) model for calculation of the chlorine nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
