The quadrupole coupling constant of the /sup 112/Sn(6/sup +/) isomer in the hexagonal Cd host is measured by using the time-differential perturbed angular distribution (TDPAD) method. Values of the quadrupole coupling constants e/sup 2/qQ/h = 66.25 +- 4.00 MHz and 57.56 +- 6.90 MHz are found at 290/sup 0/ and 500/sup 0/, respectively. The quadrupole moment of the 6/sup +/ state in /sup 112/Sn is derived in terms of the electric field gradient for Sn in Cd given by Herrlander. The deduced quadrupole moment Q is 0.29 +- 0.07b. The simple shell model estimate shows that the /sup 112/Sn(6/sup +/) state is possibly a mixed configuration of ( g/sup 6//sub 7/2/)6/sup +/ and ( g/sup 7//sub 7/2/xd/sup 5//sub 5/2/)6/sup +/.
