Abstract
The infrared spectrum of cyc-O$_4$$^+$ trapped in solid neon includes a group of combination bands built on {(\nu$_1$ + \nu$_5$)} of ground-state cyc-O$_4$$^+$. Each peak lies close to a counterpart previously reported in a study of the infrared laser photodissociation spectroscopy of a mass-selected molecular beam. This agreement is consistent with the vibrational assignment of three low-frequency modes of cyc-O$_4$$^+$ that was proposed in the earlier study. The spectra obtained for the isotopologues formed by the substitution of one or two $^{18}$O$_2$ moieties suggest the occurrence of interaction with a nearby excited electronic state.
