  The quantum discord is used as measure of quantum correlations for two
families of multipartite coherent states. The first family interpolates between
generalized GHZ states and generalized Werner states. The second one is an
interpolation between generalized GHZ and the ground state of the multipartite
quantum system. Two inequivalent ways to split the system in a pair of qubits
are introduced. The explicit expressions of quantum quantum discord in
multipartite coherent states are derived. Its evaluation uses the Koashi-Winter
relation in optimizing the conditional entropy. The temporal evolution of
quantum correlations (quantum discord and entanglement) is also discussed.
