The deuterium quadrupole coupling constant, [chi][sub D], in the PDO[sub 3][sup 2[minus]] anion has been measured in solution by NMR spin-lattice (T[sub 1]) relaxation time measurements and it has been calculated via ab initio methods. The experimental value of 94.7 [plus minus] 0.5 kHz is in excellent agreement with the ab initio value of 95.0 kHz. The activation energy for the ion reorientation is 2.23 [plus minus] 0.01 kJ mol[sup [minus]1].
