Rotationally resolved ultraviolet spectra of benzene-noble gas van der Waals clusters

Unambiguous assignment of the van der Waals modes of benzene-Ar by analysis of the rotationally resolved UV-spectra and comparison with multidimensional calculations

Van der Waals bond lengths and electronic spectral shifts of the benzene---Kr and benzene---Xe complexes

Rotationally resolved WV-spectra are presented for the 4 bands of benzene-Kr and benzene-Xe complexes yielding precise rotational constants and van der Waals bond lengths for the ground and excited vibronic state, and electronic band shifts. These values complement the previously published data for the other rare gases and the various quantities have now been determined for all the benzene-rare...

Sub-Doppler UV spectroscopy by resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization: the structure of the benzene20,22Ne cluster

In this work it is demonstrated that mass selected multiphoton ionization is a powerful technique for high resolution spectroscopy, isotope cluster separation and investigation of the structure of van der Waals clusters. The rotationally resolved UV spectra of the benzene-“Ne and benzene-**Ne clusters are selectively measured in a natural isotopic mixture of benzene and benzene-Ne clusters in a...

High-Resolution UV Spectroscopy of Molecular Complexes

Information on the structure, the rigidity and the intermolecular potential of molecular complexes is essential to our understanding of the physical and chemical properties of molecular complexes. In this work we would like to demonstrate that rotationally resolved U V spectroscopy provides precise new information on these topics. In particular, the structure and van der Waals bond length of be...

Interdimensional degeneracies in van der Waals clusters and quantum Monte Carlo computation of rovibrational states.

Quantum Monte Carlo estimates of the spectrum of rotationally invariant states of noble gas clusters suggest interdimensional degeneracy in N-1 and N+1 spatial dimensions. We derive this property by mapping the Schrodinger eigenvalue problem onto an eigenvalue equation in which D appears as a continuous variable. We discuss implications for quantum Monte Carlo and dimensional scaling methods.
