HIGH RESOLUTION, ELECTRONIC SPECTROSCOPY OF RARE GAS $\bullet$OH/D AND$\bullet$SH/D COMPLEXES

Author Institution: Laser Spectroscopy Facility, Department of Chemistry, The Ohio State University; Chemistry Department, Brookhaven National LabsWe have recorded and analyzed the rotationally resolved, laser-included fluorescence spectra of the rare gas (Rg), Rg $\cdot$ OH/D and the analogous Rg $\cdot$ SH/D complexes (Rg = Ne, Ar, Kr). The rotational, fine and hyperfine structure is observed for all these complexes in transitions involving solely the van der Waals stretch as well as transitions involving bend-stretch combinations. We have recently obtained high resolution spectra ( = 300 MHz) of the Kr $\cdot$ OH/D complex. These new results will be presented along with a full overview of the Rg $\cdot$ ;OH/D and Rg $\ast$ OH/D data that has been taken in our laboratory
