Nitrogen nqcc's in cyanoketene a mixed rs/ro structure was reported by Hahn, et al. [1].  Calculation of the nqcc's was made on this structure.  The calculated nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Table 1.  Structure parameters are given in Table 2.
 
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 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.
