Calculation of deuterium nqcc's in Si(D)SiH and Si(H)SiD were made here on (1) the ro molecular structure of McCarthy and Thaddeus [1], (2) the partial ro structure of Cordonnier et al. [2], and (3) a structure optained by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(G03) optimization (assuming Cs symmetry).  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] in Tables 1 and 2.  Structure parameters are given in Table 3.
 
In Tables 1 and 2, 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 B3LYP/6-31G(df,3p) model for calculation of the deuterium nqcc's, which may be taken as an estimate of the uncertainty in the calculated nqcc's.
