Abstract
We have recorded rotationally resolved laser induced fluorescence spectra of free radical-inert gas complexes in a supersonic free jet expansion. From the rotational analysis, we were able to determine the location of inert gas atoms in the complexs. In general, the inert gas atoms are found to bind to the center of the aromatic rings. The separation from the ring typically undergoes a substantial decrease upon electronic excitation. The electronic orbital movement and methyl torsion in the complexes are compared with uncomplexed molecules.
