The temperature variation of the nuclear quadrupole resonance frequency in the two compounds 3,4-dichloro nitrobenzene and 4-chloro 2 nitrophenol were analyzed in the light of the Kushida and Brown models. The internal torsional frequencies at each temperature was calculated using Bayer's model with Tatsuzaki correction under a two-mode approximation to obtain the temperature variation of the torsional frequencies in both compounds. The torsional frequencies are seen to lie between 25 cm^{-1} and 85 cm^{-1} in the first compound and between 30 cm^{-1} and 42 cm^{-1} in the case of the second compound. The temperature dependence of the torsional frequencies is linear above 150 K in the first compound and is linear throughout the range 77 K to 350 K in the second. The smaller temperature dependence in the second compound may be the effect of hydrogen bonding in this compound.
