Abstract
The dependence of the deuteron quadrupole coupling constant (DQCC) on the nature of hybridization of carbon in deuterocarbons is examined in detail. A simple molecular orbital description of the C–D fragment, with various effective nuclear charges on carbon, is used. The calculated values are shown to be comparable to experimental results and other theoretical models which treat the entire molecules rather than simply the C–D fragment. It is shown that DQCC(sp) > DQCC(sp2) > DQCC(sp3) which may be attributed to the fact that the nuclear contribution to the electric field gradient decreases faster than the electronic part in the series sp, sp2, sp3. A collection of experimental data, establishing the same trend obtained theoretically, is presented including new deuterium NMR results on phenylacetylene‐d and ferrocene‐d10.

Measurement of the Quadrupole Coupling Constant and Asymmetry Parameter of the Ring Deuterons in Several Deuterated Benzene Derivatives

TL;DR: In this article, the ring deuteron quadrupole coupling tensor was measured in simple deuterated benzene derivatives, i.e., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, as well as naphthalene, pyridine, and cyclohexane, using polycrystalline specimens at 77°K and in a magnetic field strength of 24 kOe.

TL;DR: These results, in conjunction with those obtained using [gamma-2H6]valine-labeled bacteriorhodopsin, indicate the rather rigid nature of amino acid side chains in the H. halobium purple membrane.

Determination of Electronic Structure of Molecules from Nuclear Quadrupole Effects

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that this variation of electric field is usually simply related to the molecular electronic structure, being primarily dependent on the way in which valence electrons fill the lowest energy p-type orbits.
