Iodine-129 Moessbauer spectra of four actinide iodides, ThI/sub 4/, UI/sub 4/, NpI/sub 3/, and PuI/sub 3/ have been studied. The /sup 129/I Moessbauer spectra of the iodides all showed a single asymmetric resonance with inflections in the envelope. The inflections and asymmetry of the envelope were interpreted to indicate that the normal /sup 129/I quadrupole splitting was too small to be resolved. No significant differences were noted for the Moessbauer parameters among the four iodides. However, unexpected differences were noted in the isomer shifts and quadrupole coupling constants for lanthanide iodides and actinide iodides. 16 references, 2 figures, 2 tables.
