Nuclear quadrupole interaction parameters have been determined at 293 and 77 K at the site of /sup 181/Ta nuclei in anhydrous HfCl/sub 4/ by the method of time-differential perturbed angular correlations. Measurements performed on the 133--482 keV ..gamma..--..gamma.. cascade in /sup 181/Ta following the ..beta.. decay of /sup 181/Hf indicate that HfCl/sub 4/ does not possess cubic symmetry as claimed by some researchers.
