Abstract
Rotational spectra of the $Kr-H_{2}O$ van der Waals complex were measured between 4 and 19 GHz using a pulsed jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The isotopomers studied include those of $H_{2}O, HDO, D_{2}O, H_{2}^{17}O$, and $H_{2} ^{18}O$ with 6 different isotopes of Kr. Tunnelling splittings were observed for all isotopomers with the exception of Kr-HDO. Transitions of complexes with $^{83}Kr, D_{2}O, HDO, and H_{2} ^{17}O$ showed nuclear hyperfine structure due to the quadrupole moments of $^{83}Kr, D$, and $^{17}O$, respectively. Rotational and centrifugal distortion constants were determined and used to calculate structural parameters.
