β¦ Synopsis
The nuclear quadrupole coupling constant of *"'Hg (I= 3/2 ) has been determined for CHXHgCl in the vapour by microwave spectroscopy. A value of eQq( *"Hg) = -1025 (3) MHz, along the axis of the symmetric top, has been determined for the vibrational ground state. An initial determination of the quadrupole coupling constant was made possible by radiofrequency pumping of the l-type doublets of the lowest bending mode, Y,, for which eQq(*"'Hg) = -1016( 6) MHz and the I-type doublet constant qS = 2.90( 1) MHz. eQq( WI) was confirmed to be -42.2( 2) MHz. The dipole moment of CH3HgCl has been determined from Stark effect measurements in the ground state as 3.4 ll(l1) D.
