Abstract

Zeeman studies of a single crystal of GeCl4 have been carried out on a previously described pulsed FT NQR spectrometer. The technique for growing single crystals from liquid samples is described. The Zeeman-split spectrum for each of the resonances at v1 = 25.4493, v2 = 25.7133, v3 = 25.7354, and v4 = 25.7457 MHz reveals four quadruplets. The asymmetry parameters found lie in two groups of average values n = 0.035 and n = 0.078, much lower than the previously reported value of n = 0.35 obtained from a polycrystalline sample. The crystal of GeCl4 is found to be orthorhombic with mmm or D2n symmetry. From the directions of the field gradient axes the interbond angles have been calculated and show that the GeCl4 molecule is a slightly distorted tetrahedron.
