Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's in propionamide was made here on molecular structures given by HF/6-311++G(3df,3pd) and HF/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimizations, with Cs symmetry assumed.  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.

 








RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of nitrogen efg's/nqcc's.
