The quadrupole interaction of the 7- 2454 keV isomeric state in130Ce with the electric field gradient of a polycrystalline metallic tin lattice has been investigated by the time-differential perturbed angular distribution method. A quadrupole coupling constant νQ=71(4)MHz has been determined, leading to a quadrupole moment value |Q|=1.77(21)eb. The result gives support to the description of the 7- isomeric state by a high-K two-neutron configuration involving Nilsson orbitals from the h11/2 and g7/2 states. A mean value of K=6.0(2) has been deduced.
