The non-lifting of degeneracy in the ± [formula omitted] and ± [formula omitted] levels in the calculation of dipolar second moments from the 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance linewidths in NaClO 3, KClO 3, p-ØCl 2 and SbCl 3

Abstract

It is shown that the degeneracy in the ± 3 2 and ± 1 2 levels is not removed by internal dipolar fields as suggested by Abragam and Kambe &[5]. The degenerate equations of Bize &[1] give calculated pure nuclear quadrupole resonance dipolar second moments in agreement with experiment for 35Cl resonances in NaClO 3, KClO 3, p-ØCl 2 and SbCl 3.
