Non-additive intermolecular forces from the spectroscopy of van der Waals trimers: far-infrared spectra and calculations on Ar2-DCI
نویسندگان
چکیده
The far-infrared vibration-rotation spectrum of the out-of-plane DC1 bending band of Ar2-DC1 is observed around 36.0cm -1. The experimental bending frequency, rotational constants and hyperfine coupling constants are compared with the results of calculations employing both pairwise-additive and non-additive interaction potentials. As found previously for Ar2-HC1, there are substantial discrepancies between the experimental results and calculations employing a pairwise-additive potential. To explain the discrepancy it is necessary to include a non-additive term that arises from the interaction of the permanent multipoles of the DC1 monomer with an overlap-induced quadrupole on Ar 2. The new spectra should prove very valuable in a future determination of the non-additive contribution to the potential.

Molecules held together by van der Waals forces generally posess bond strengths which are -0 1-1.0% of normal chemical bonds, i.e. 0.1-1.0 Kcal/mole (.35-350 cmi ). Such extremely weak bonds exhi~it vibrational frequencies which lie in the far-infrared, eq. 10-100 cm(1000-100 11m). In order to measure vibration-rotation spectra of van der Waals bonds, one must devise a method which possesses ve...
