Abstract

The NH-Ne van der Waals complex has been observed in conjunction with the C1ΠA1Δ transition of NH. Low resolution LIF spectra (0.5cm−1 linewidth) exhibit at least three vibronic bands of the complex in the region of the monomer 0- 0 band. The complex bands are spread over a region approximately 30cm−1 wide. The lowest energy band is red-shifted relative to the monomer, indicating that the van der Waals bond strengthens on electronic excitation. Spectra recorded at higher reso lution (0.08cm−1) show congested rotational structure. Analyses of these data and spectra for ND-Ne will be reported.
