Abstract

The structure, bond energy, and photodissociation dynamics of the $N e C l 2$ van der Waals molecule are studied by a laser pump-probe technique. Analysis of excitation spectra reveals the structure to be nearly tetrahedral. The $C l 2$ bond length is assumed to be unchanged by formation of the van der Waals bonds. A Ne to Ne distance of $3.13 Δ$ and a $N e 2$ to $C l 2$ distance of $3.25 Δ$ are determined. The dissociation energy is determined to be between 145.6 and $148.6 c m −1$ . The dissociation product state distributions are modeled by suprisal analysis.
