A theoretical estimate of chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constant in BrCl molecule was made for the two isotopic substitutions (Cl/sup 35/ and Cl/ sup 37/) of chlorine on the basis of the theory developed by Townes and Dailey. The dependence of the chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constant and dipole moment on the chemical bonding state of BrCl molecule was investigated. Neither the amount of the hybridization nor the ionicity of the bond could be uniquely determined. However, fixing a probable percentage ionicity of the bond (10% obtained from the electronegativity considerations) it is found impossible to explain the observed coupling constant without the introduction of s% whereas the observed dipole moment cannot be explained without the introduction of d%. The change in quadrupole coupling constant for the isotopic substitution of chlorine is found predominantly due to the change in the corresponding nuclear quadrupole moments. (auth)
