Abstract
The bond electronegativity equalization method, BEEM, is used to examine the Townes and Dailey interpretation of 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance frequencies; the quadrupole coupling constants from gaseous microwave spectroscopy, and from solid state N.Q.R. are considered. There is a distinct change in the s character of the chlorine σ orbital between the gaseous and solid state, and the s character depends upon the atom to which the chlorine bonds. It is independent of the rest of the molecule, changes in which affect the ionic character of the chlorine bond. A consistent interpretation of the N.Q.R. data for chlorine bonded to silicon, phosphorus and sulphur is achieved without postulating dπ−pπ bonding.
