Abstract
Several properties are calculated for the first time for the B3Πg, C3Πu, A′5Σg+, and C″5Πu states of N2, i.e., quadrupole (Θ) and hexadecapole (Φ) moments, static dipole polarizability (α), and hyperfine structure (hfs) data such as the electric field gradient (qii) and magnetic Frosch–Foley parameters (b, c, d). These quantities are evaluated with the density functional theory (DFT) method B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ. The variation with geometry is also considered for all parameters above. The B(σgπg) and C(σuπg) triplet Π states have similar values of the anisotropy P|2|(2) ∝ (Pxx − Pyy), with P = Θii, qii, or Tii (dipolar hfs tensor). The first-order spin-orbit coupling constant AΛ and the second-order electron-spin g-shift Δg⊥ are obtained with a 6-311+G(2d) basis and multireference configuration interaction (MRDCI) wave functions. Values of AΛ calculated for W3Δu and (B, C, C′, C″) Π states reproduce well the experimental data (C and C′ are two different minima of 13Πu). The variation of AΛ with R(N-N) is regular for all states studied, except for AΠ(13Πu), which changes abruptly between the C and C′ minima (from 38 to 2 cm−1). The Δg⊥ values — evaluated via sum over states expansions — are calculated for A′5Σg+ as well as A3Σu+ and B′3Σu−. The spin-rotation constant γΣ is derived via Curl’s equation γΣ = (−2B)Δg⊥. We find γΣ(A′) to be negative and to decrease steadily with vibrational excitation, in line with experimental observations. Both Δg⊥ and γΣ of A′5Σg+ are determined by the coupling of this weakly bound state with the strongly repulsive 15Πg state.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
