Abstract
Infrared absorption spectra of HCl and HBr suspended in solid argon, krypton and nitrogen have been recorded over a wide range of solute to solvent ratios and under varying conditions of deposition. The fine structure in the region of the fundamental is interpreted as arising from isolated solute molecules undergoing hindered rotation and from interacting solute molecules. Calculation of gas to matrix vibrational shifts demonstrates the importance of repulsive forces in determining these shifts. Spectral variations from matrix to matrix have been correlated with the physical properties of the matrix materials.
