Lead compounds, quadrupole coupling

Other Iodine Compounds. By studying the isomer shift and the quad-rupole hfs for a series of compounds, Perlow and Perlow (29) have calibrated the isomer shift scale which is independent of Equation 7. The number of p holes, hp, for the compounds of I2, KICI4 H2O, KIC12 H2O, and ICl has been inferred from the measured value of the quadrupole coupling constant, eqQ, and from the symmetry of the iodine lattice site. Since they found that the isomer shifts and hp are linearly related for these compounds, it appears that 5 electrons do not participate directly in the bonding, and the sp hybridization is negligible. Because of this linearity, they have been able to determine dh/dhp, which leads to a calibration of the isomer shift scale.
