The level mixing spectroscopy method has been applied to measure the static quadrupole moments of six isomeric states in {sup 213}Fr, {sup 212}Fr, and {sup 211}Fr ({ital Z}=87). For isomers with the proton configuration {pi}{ital h}{sub 9/2}{sup 4}{ital i}{sub 13/2} a large increase of the quadrupole moment was observed with the removal of neutrons from the closed {ital N}=126 core: {ital Q}(29/2{sup +},{sup 213}Fr)={minus}70(7) {ital e} fm{sup 2}, {ital Q}(15{sup {minus}},{sup 212}Fr)={minus}80(12) {ital e} fm{sup 2}, and {ital Q}(29/2{sup +},{sup 211}Fr)={minus}107(18) {ital e} fm{sup 2}. Quadrupole moments for very high spin states were also measured: {ital Q}(65/2{sup {minus}},{sup 213}Fr)={minus}219(53) {ital e} fm{sup 2}, {ital Q}(27{sup {minus}},{sup 212}Fr)={minus}152(31) {ital e} fm{sup 2}, and {ital Q}(45/2{sup {minus}},{sup 211}Fr) ={minus}198(56) {ital e} fm{sup 2}. The observed values are in good agreement with shell-model calculations, but are lower than that predicted using the deformed-independent particle model. The implantation behavior of Fr in a Tl host is also discussed.
