Abstract
Methanol clusters of two tryptophan analogues, tryptamine and 3-indole propionic acid have been studied in a supersonic molecular beam using resonantly enhaned one and two color photoionization spectroscopy. The two species exhibit spectral shifts upon complexation which differ both in magnitude and direction. The effect of the solvent molecule on the qualitative features of the two spectra is markedly diferent as well. The spectra of indole propionic acid and tryptamine exhibit more than one line in the origin region. These lines have been of the complexed indole propionic acid is similar to that of the parent species, in the tryptamine spectrum in single feature predominates. Some implications of these results for understanding intermolecular interactions within these two clusters will be discussed.
