Rotational spectrum of the Ar–HCO+ ionic complex

Abstract
Rotational spectra of four isotopomers of Ar–HCO+ have been studied in a jet-cooled condition by using a Fabry–Perot-type Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer. The ionic complex has a linear proton-bound form, with approximate intermolecular stretching and bending frequencies of 130 cm−1 and 110 cm−1 , respectively.
