Abstract
We perform the four-body calculation of the hyperfine structure in the first rotational state J=1 of the H_{2}, D_{2}, and HD molecules and determine the accurate value for the deuteron electric quadrupole moment Q_{d}=0.285 699(15)(18) fm^{2} in significant disagreement with former spectroscopic determinations. Our results for the hyperfine parameters agree very well with the currently most accurate molecular-beam magnetic resonance measurement performed several decades ago by N.F. Ramsey and coworkers. They also indicate the significance of previously neglected nonadiabatic effects. Moreover, a very good agreement with the recent calculation of Q_{d} based on the chiral effective field theory, although much less accurate, indicates the importance of the spin dependence of nucleon interactions in the accurate description of nuclei.
