“…Since at least one 14 N quadrupolar nucleus is present in all amino acids, nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (χ ii , with i referring to the inertia axis a , b , or c ) are important for accurate predictions of rotational spectra because they determine a splitting of the rotational transitions, which generates the so-called hyperfine structure. , Furthermore, the components of dipole moments (μ i ) determine the intensities of rotational transitions. , Several studies have shown that dipole moments and quadrupole coupling constants can be computed with sufficient accuracy at the rDSD level. , On the other hand, accurate electronic energies can be obtained by single-point energy evaluations at rDSD geometries using composite wave function methods rooted in the coupled cluster (CC) ansatz . In particular, the CC model including single, double, and perturbative estimate of triple excitations (CCSD(T)) is employed here taking also into account complete basis set (CBS) extrapolation and core valence (CV) correlation.…”
