Abstract
The van der Waals complexes between polyatomic open shell molecules and rare gases are of considerable interest. We have recorded vibrationally and rotationally resolved LIF spectra of several free radical - rare gas van der Waals complexes in a free jet expansion. Two examples of the complexes that we have observed are the cyclopentadienyl radical with helium and neon and the methylcyclopentadienyl radical with helium. The LIF spectra and preliminary analysis of the radical - rare gas complexes will be presented.
