dc.description.abstractThe infrared spectra of C6D6-Rg1,2 complexes were observed, with the rare gas (Rg) being He, Ne, Ar. The spectra were observed at a resolution of ~ 60 MHz using a tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) to probe a pulsed supersonic-jet expansion from a slit nozzle. The detection system also used a balanced subtraction technique to suppress the power fluctuations inherent to the OPO. Due to a strong Fermi resonance in the C6D6 monomer, two bands were observed for each of the complexes, one around the vibrational fundamental of ν12 (~2289 cm-1) and other around the combination band ν2 + ν13 (~2275 cm-1) of the benzene monomer. In the case of C6D6-Rg dimers, spectra were assigned to a symmetric top with C6v symmetry with the rare gas atom being located on the C6 symmetry axis. To observe the C6D6-Rg2 trimers, the nozzle had to be cooled, resulting in spectra with a lower rotational temperature. The spectra of the C6D6-Rg2 trimers were in agreement with a D6h symmetry structure, where the rare gas atoms are positioned on the C6 symmetry axis, above and below the C6D6 plane.en_US
