In Tables 1-3, 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 computational model residual standard deviation. 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. In Table 3, Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.
