    Notes: We report the use of near infrared tunable difference frequency laser absorption methods to investigate low-frequency bending of the intermolecular hydrogen bond in OCOHF complexes. By deliberate thermal warming of the slit jet expansion to 16 K, we observe bending "hot band'' transitions built on the fundamental vHF=1←0 HF stretch from the lowest five internally excited bending states (i.e., vlbend=00←00, 11←11, 20←20, 22←22, and 31←31) which correspond to low-frequency, skeletal bending of the intermolecular hydrogen bond. In addition, much weaker parallel (Δl=0) combination band transitions (vlbend=20←00 and 31←11 ) are observed at (approximately-less-than)5% of the 00←00 intensity. Furthermore, measurements of the extremely weak 11←00 perpendicular (Δl=1) band are obtained at (approximately-less-than)1% of the 00←00 intensity. The fundamental, hot band, and combination band data permit quantitative measurement of the absolute vibrational energies of all vibrational levels for the l=0 and 1 manifolds in both HF excited (vHF=1) and ground-state (vHF=0) complexes.The bending frequencies are surprisingly low (∼10 cm−1 ) and exhibit positive anharmonicity (i.e., the energy level spacings increase with vlbend ). The results suggest nearly unrestricted bending of the hydrogen bond in a very flat, highly anharmonic angular potential. In contrast with many other weakly bound complexes, the lowest bending frequency decreases dramatically upon HF excitation, which signals a vHF vibrationally induced shift from a linear to a nonlinear equilibrium geometry for the vHF=1 excited OCOHF potential surface. Excess Lorentzian line widths are observed in all OCOHF transitions, attributable to vibrational predissociation lifetimes that vary smoothly from 1.2 ns (vlbend=00) to 650 ps (vlbend=31) as a function of intermolecular bending excitation.

    Notes: The near-infrared spectrum of ArHF prepared in a slit supersonic expansion is recorded with a difference frequency infrared laser spectrometer. By virtue of the high sensitivity of the technique, and the lack of appreciable spectral congestion at the 10 K jet temperature, we observe 9 of the 11 vibrational states with energies below the Ar+HF(v=1, j=0) dissociation limit. These include (1000), the lowest bound HF (v=1) state, the singly, doubly, and quadruply van der Waals stretch excited states (1001) (1002), and (1004), both the Σ bend (1200) and Π bend (111e,f 0), and the multiply excited, Π bend plus van der Waals stretch (111e,f 1). Two Ar+HF(v=0) states, (0000) and (0001), are also characterized. This spectroscopic information is quite sensitive to the Ar+HF potential energy surface away from the equilibrium configuration, and thus provides a rigorous test of trial potential energy surfaces. Excellent agreement is obtained between experiment and the predictions of a recently reported Ar+HF(v=1) potential.

    Notes: The near-IR spectrum and equilibrium structure of a novel hydrogen bonded complex between nitrous oxide and hydrogen fluoride is described. In contrast to a previously reported structure, in which the HF bonds to the oxygen end of NNO, the present structure has the HF bonded to the nitrogen end of NNO. The structure is unambiguously confirmed by isotopic substitution. The identification of the two stable, spectroscopically distinct structures represents the first demonstration of geometric isomerism in a hydrogen-bonded complex.

    Notes: The vibration–rotation spectrum of the HF stretch mode in ortho-H2HF complexes has been obtained via infrared laser direct absorption detection in a slit supersonic jet expansion. The spectrum resembles a Ka =1←1 parallel band of a prolate near-symmetric top and can be reasonably well fit with a Watson A-type Hamiltonian; however, no rigid molecular structure can reproduce the observed Ka splittings without invoking unphysically large changes in the constituent bond lengths upon complexation. The splittings are more correctly analyzed in terms of a j=1 hindered H2 rotor in an anisotropic potential, with a minimum energy T-shaped geometry. Matrix calculations determine barriers to H2 rotation between 120 and 170 cm−1 that depend systematically both on vibrational and rotational state in the complex. These data are consistent with a strong increase in potential anisotropy with decreasing intermolecular separation, with both upper and lower vibrational states close to the dissociation limit. No evidence for a corresponding Σ←Σ para-H2HF spectrum is observed, despite adequate experimental sensitivity. The matrix calculations indicate that the ground Σ state of para-H2HF is less stabilized by the potential anisotropy than the ground Π state in ortho-H2HF, and may therefore be much less efficiently formed in the jet expansion. The preferential observation of a ground Π vs Σ state in ortho-H2HF clearly indicates a minimum in the potential surface for a T-shaped vs collinear geometry. The observed rotational constants strongly suggest a H2⋅⋅⋅H–F ordering. The results provide direct evidence for vibrationally averaged structure, internal rigidity, and intermolecular bond strength that are significantly quantum state dependent, but can be qualitatively understood in terms of simple steric interactions between the H2 and HF subunits.

    Notes: IR spectra of jet cooled ArHF are obtained via direct absorption of a high resolution tunable difference frequency laser in a 2.54 cm path length, slit supersonic pulsed expansion at 〈10 K. Detection limits of 2×109 molecules/cm3/quantum state permit observation of the high frequency ν1 fundamental stretch (1000) ← (0000), the ν1+ν2 van der Waals bend plus stretch combination band (1110) ← (0000), as well as transitions to the (1002) triply vibrationally excited state that are weakly allowed via Coriolis interactions with the Π+ component of the (1110) manifold. The ground state (0000) molecular constants are in excellent agreement with previous microwave data. From the changes in rotational and centrifugal distortion constants, the vibrationally averaged van der Waals well depth is estimated to increase (+15%) with ν1 excitation, but decrease dramatically (−42%) upon subsequent excitation of the l=1 ν2 bend. L-doubling in the ν1+ν2 (1110) perpendicular bending state is large and negative [−69.8(18) MHz] and indicates the presence of a near resonant Coriolis coupledvibration of Σ+ symmetry at lower energy. A second, localized Coriolis perturbation is observed in the (1110) state and assigned to the near resonant (1002) Σ+ fundamental plus van der Waals stretch overtone at higher energy. Analysis of this Coriolis interaction indicates that coupling can be significant even for a three quantum change in vibration. However, a perturbative, small amplitude oscillator model predicts Coriolis matrix elements only 18% of the observed values, suggesting that large amplitude, bend–stretch interactions can strongly enhance Coriolis coupling. The decrease in the B rotational constant and the vibrationally averaged well depth upon ν2 excitation confirms the strong coupling between van der Waals stretch and bend coordinates. The slit expansion geometry quenches perpendicular velocity distributions and therefore offers intrinsically sub-Doppler resolution in an unskimmed molecular beam. Residual linewidths in the ArHF spectra are all below the apparatus resolution limit of ±25 MHz, which translates into a lower limit for the predissociation lifetime of 3 ns, i.e., in excess of 2×106 ν1 vibrational periods.

    Notes: The near-infrared vibration–rotation spectra of the weakly bound complexes HeHF, HeDF, and HeHCl are observed in a slit supersonic expansion. The spectra correspond to simultaneous excitation of vibration and internal rotation of the H(D)X subunit within the complex. The HeHF and HeDF P/R branch transitions show J-dependent excess linewidths, which are attributed to rapid predissociation of the excited states from intramolecular rotation–translation energy transfer. The corresponding P/R branch transitions in HeHCl are not observed despite good S/N on the Q branch, suggesting even more rapid predissociation for the upper state of this complex. The Q branch transitions for all three complexes abruptly terminate at low J, yielding lower limits to the number of bound rotational states and good estimates of the dissociation energies D0=7.1±0.1 cm−1 for HeHF and HeDF, and 10.1±1.2 cm−1 for HeHCl. In addition to isotropic intermolecular potentials, the HeHF/HeDF data yield considerable information on the potential anisotropy in the region sampled by the bound and quasibound states. The information so obtained is complementary to results from scattering studies and provides sensitive tests for refining trial potential energy surfaces.

    Notes: Two spectroscopically distinct isomers of a hydrogen bonded complex between nitrous oxide and hydrogen fluoride are observed by direct infrared laser absorption detection in a slit supersonic expansion. The linear isomer FH–NNO contains a relatively rigid hydrogen bond to the nitrogen end of NNO. The bent isomer NNO–HF has a stronger hydrogen bond to the oxygen end of NNO, but this bond is characterized by a softer bending potential and thus the complex exhibits evidence of large amplitude bending motion. Rapid vibrational predissociation, as determined from the homogeneous broadening of the rovibrational absorption structure, is evidenced in both isomers. The linear isomer exhibits predissociation lifetimes which show structure as a function of the upper J' rotational level, including narrow resonances which suggest excitation of NNO fragment vibrational modes.

    Notes: Ultrasensitive infrared laser absorption spectroscopy in a slit supersonic expansion is used to obtain the spectrum of the HF stretching fundamental of D2HF. Both a Π←Π band due to para-D2HF and a ∑←∑ band due to ortho-D2HF are observed, in contrast to the H2HF spectrum which consists of the Π←Π band alone. Analysis of the spectrum indicates that the D2HF Π states are more strongly bound than the ∑ states. Doublet splittings in the Π←Π band are analyzed to determine barriers to internal rotation of D2 within the complex. The vibrationa1 predissociation rate of D2HF is approximately 25 times faster than that of H2HF, suggesting the opening of a channel which results in vibrational excitation of the D2 fragment.

    Notes: High sensitivity, tunable laser direct absorption methods are exploited to obtain high resolution IR spectra (Δν(approximately-less-than)0.001 cm−1) of weakly bound CO2HF complexes in a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion. Transitions from the ground vibrational state corresponding to a single quantum excitation of the ν1 HF stretch are observed and analyzed with a semirigid linear molecule Hamiltonian. The observed increase in both B (+1.75%) and D (+55%) upon ν1 excitation is inconsistent with the commonly used diatomic approximation, and is not possible to rationalize for a nearly linear upper state geometry with small amplitude zero point motion of the intermolecular CO2 bend coordinate. We consider an alternative centrifugal straightening mechanism which predicts large centrifugal distortion effects due to end over end rotation of a complex with a nonlinear vibrationally averaged geometry in a weak bending potential. In support of this interpretation, hot band spectra are observed arising from bend excited complexes significantly populated in the 16 K expansion; intensity based estimates of the internal excitation indicate a surprisingly low bend frequency of 10±5 cm−1. A preliminary analysis of the spectra as l doubling in a Π←Π vibrational hot band for a linear equilibrium geometry is presented. An alternative interpretation of the spectrum as asymmetry doubling of a K=1←1 rotational hot band for a bent geometry is also considered. This latter interpretation is more consistent with the data and predicts a CO2 bend angle in the complex for K=1 between 25° and 30°. Linewidths for the upper vibrational states in CO2HF exhibit homogeneous broadening 3–4 times in excess of the apparatus resolution. Voigt analysis of the absorption line shapes indicates linewidths (FWHM) of 136±16 MHz and independent of J state; this corresponds to a relaxation lifetime of 1.1±0.2 ns for HF in the complex.

    Notes: The near-infrared spectrum of NeDF formed in a slit free jet expansion is recorded with a high resolution, tunable laser spectrometer. Four bands, consisting of the DF stretching fundamental and three internal rotation and van der Waals stretch combination bands, are observed and analyzed for both the 20Ne and 22Ne isotopomers. All three combination bands reveal a sudden onset of rotational predissociation at modest J, which is modeled with effective one-dimensional potentials to determine the binding energy D0=34.7±0.8 cm−1 for 20NeDF (v=0) and D0=35.1±0.8 cm−1 for 20 NeDF (v=1). The experimental results are compared with predictions of a recently published ab initio anisotropic potential surface, and an improved potential is developed and tested. This refined potential has an absolute minimum of −86 cm−1 in the linear Ne–D–F geometry, a secondary minimum at −55 cm−1 in the inverted linear Ne–F–D geometry, and an intervening saddle point at −39 cm−1 near the perpendicular geometry. The lowest bound state lies ≈4 cm−1 above the saddle so internal DF rotation is only slightly hindered in this complex.
