Nuclear quadrupole resonance for the 35Cl nucleus has been observed in some chloro complexes of divalent copper. Square-planar complexes each show two resonance lines, with the following frequencies (at 77�K): (CH3NH3)2CuCl4, 10.780, 12.157 MHz; (C2H5NH3)2CuCl4, 10.817, 12.074 MHz; (enH2)CuCl4, 10.271, 11.901 MHz; and (C3H7NH3)2CuCl4 at 223�K, 11.290 and 11.781 MHz. NH4CuCl3, containing dimeric Cu2Cl62- units, has resonances, at 77�K, at 11.907, 11.993, and 12.448 MHz. The trigonal pyramidal anion in Co(NH3)6CuCl5 has two resonances at 9.642 and 10.352 MHz at 77�K. ��� These results are compared with previous results for copper chloro complexes, and the implications of covalent bonding are discussed. In particular, it is suggested that the long-bond interaction between units in square-planar complexes amounts to 7-16% of the bonding interaction within the units.

Chlorine nuclear quadrupole resonance frequencies are reported for solid compounds of known structure containing linear molecules HgCl2 and Hg2Cl2, approximately trigonal HgCl3-, and a variety of distorted octahedral forms including NH4HgCl3, CsHgCl3, and K2HgCl4,H2O. Compounds of unknown structure of the type (cation+)HgCl3, (cation+)2HgCl4, (cation+)Hg2Cl5, (cation+)2Hg9Cl20, and (cation+)4HgCl6 have also been studied. There are clear correlations between observed n.q.r. frequencies and Hg-Cl infrared stretching frequencies and bond distances. These correlations show the dependence of the degree of covalent bonding in the Hg-Cl bond with distance. The n.q.r. data confirm that many of the complex chlorides of mercury are built up by the joining of octahedral HgCl6 units, distorted in such a way as to preserve to varying extents the identity of the HgCl2 molecule. ��� Predictions of the structures are made for some complex chlorides of unknown structure, and the role of bridging in building up the compounds is discussed in terms of observed n.q.r. data for bridging chlorines.
