Hyperfine structure on the J = 1..-->..0, F/sub 1/ = 3/2 transitions in CH/sub 3/ /sup 79/Br, CH/sub 3/ /sup 81/Br, and CD/sub 3/ /sup 79/Br was measured with one-cavity and two-cavity beam maser spectrometers. The resolution for the measurements was approximately 2 kHz and most hyperfine structure components were completely resolved. Deuterium quadrupole coupling eQq/sub z/z = 178.5 +- 3 khz along the C--D bond and other parameters were obtained. In the theory section, formulas for the hyperfine interaction strengths with three equivalent spins are presented and reviewed. Deuterium quadrupole coupling in other C--D bond systems is discussed.
