The temperature dependences of the 35Cl NQR frequency (ν), spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), and spin-spin relaxation time (T2) have been studied in 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (picryl chloride) from 77 K up to the melting point (354 K). The T1(T) curve exhibits a pronounced composite mimimum near 300 K which gives evidence for the reorientations of the two ortho-NO2 groups around their two-fold symmetry axes with the activation energies of 27.4 kJ mol - 1 and 31.2 kJ mol - 1. These values can be related to the ortho-NO2 groups having the twist angles of 33° and 81°, respectively (the crystal structure of picryl chloride is known). The T2(T) dependence exhibits interesting features, too: a deep minimum about 140 K and a new rapid decrease above 270 K.
