in 3-Phosphinopropionitrile


 








 








 








Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc tensor in 3-phosphinopropionitrile was made here on a molecular structure given by MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) optimization with approximate equilibrium C-C and CN triple bond lengths.  These calculated nqcc's are given in Table 1, structure parameters in Table 2, rotational constants and dipole moments in Table 3, and centrifugal distortion constants in Table 4.


 








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 Cs plane of the molecule.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.  Øz,CN (degrees) is the angle between the CN bond axis and the z-principal axis.


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.
