Abstract
Nuclear quadrupole resonance is an effective spectroscopic method to investigate the charge density distribution in solids. The range of compounds which may be investigated is wide, reaching from a crystal lattice built up by an ordered arrangement of neutral molecules in the crystalline material to ionic crystals and to metallic solids.
First the correlations between NQR quantities and bond parameters which become apparent from the molecular orbital picture will be discussed, e.g. Hammett a, x-parameter, ionic character i, s-character, ionicity, electronegativity in their connection to NQR. Then, the correlations of NQR frequencies, respectively nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, with bond lengths and bond angles are considered.
Cross correlations, e.g. of NQR frequencies with bond distances, bond distances with vibrational frequencies, and vibrational frequencies with NQR frequencies are discussed as are pK A dependencies of NQR parameters. The connection of e
