Abstract
The species ArCO2 produced by adiabatic expansion is structurally characterized by molecular beam electric resonance spectroscopy. ArCO2 is shown to have C2v symmetry. The spectroscopic constants obtained are: The derived structural constants for ArCO2 are: Comparison is made with a number of proposed Ar–CO2 intermolecular potentials. The determined force constants are shown to be poorly fitted by a spherical argon–oxygen interaction.Keywords
