Abstract
The nuclear quadrupole interaction parameters e2qQ and η are calculated for fluorine nuclei in fluorobenzenes from wave functions obtained using a first-principles Hartree-Fock procedure utilizing linear combinations of atomic orbitals. Weighted averages of these individual parameters are used in an attempt to explain results obtained from time-dependent perturbed angular distribution measurements made earlier on various fluorobenzene samples implanted with 19F*. Six different basis sets were used. Agreement between the calculated and experimental results for e2qQ was within 16% in all cases and within 3% for two of the basis sets used, and the trend in e2qQ with increasing fluorine substitution was successfully predicted. The asymmetry parameter calculations yielded results in good overall agreement with experiment.
