Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

Calculation of the nitrogen nqcc's was made here on a molecular structure derived by B3LYP/6-31G(3d,3p) optimization.  These are compared with the experimental nqcc's [1] in Table 1.  Structure parameters and atomic coordinates respectively are given in Tables 2 and 3.  Rotational constants are given in Table 4.
 
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 symmetry plane of the molecule.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters. ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.
 
RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental nqcc's (percentage of average experimental nqcc).  RSD is the residual stand deviation of calibration of the B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd) model for calculation of the nqcc's.
