Calibration of the






B3PW91/6-311+G(df,pd)






model












This is the recommended model, calibration statistics for which are shown below.













Calibration was made by linear regression analysis of calculated electric field gradients vs experimental nuclear quadrupole coupling constants.  Calculations of the field gradients were made on the experimental structures of the following molecules:





 
N2 NO+ PN CN
HCN FCN ClCN BrCN
HCCCN HCCNC CH3CN CH3NC
CF3CN CF3NC SiH3CN GeH3CN
FCCCN AlNC NCCP CNCN
CH2(CN)2 CH2CHCN CH3CH2CN NCCNO
NNO ClNO CH2NOH DNO3
HNCO CH2NH BH2NH2 NH3
NF3 (CH3)3N Pyrrole Pyridine
Pyridine-N-O Benzonitrile Pyrimidine Oxazole
Thiazole Pyrazole Imidazole Furazan
