Nuclear alignment of iodine in a single crystal of copper p- iedobenzenesulfonate at a temperature of about 0.03 deg K was detected by measurement of the anisotropic angular distribution of gamma radiation from aligned I/sup 131/ . No evidence was found for a nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time longer than a few seconds. The spin of the 637-kev level in Xe/sup 131/ was established as 5/2, and the E2/M1 mixing ratio of the 364-kev transition was found to be delta = --6.7 plus or minus 0.5. The quadrupole coupling constant eQq/h was found to be --950 plus or minus l90 Mc/sec. (auth)
