Spectroscopic identification of the Ar⋯I2 intermolecular levels bound throughout the Ar + I2(B,ν‧) potential
Abstract
Action spectra were recorded to identify the Ar⋯I2 intermolecular vibrational levels bound within the Ar + I2(B,ν‧ = 20-23) excited-state potentials. Features associated with transitions of the linear and T-shaped Ar⋯I2(X,ν″ = 0) ground-state conformers are identified. Due to the overlap of levels bound within different Ar + I2(B,ν‧) potentials there is a high density of spectral features. Comparisons of the spectral shifts of the features from different I2 B-X, ν‧-0 bands are used to identify those levels bound within each of the Ar + I2(B,ν‧) potentials. At least 17 bound intermolecular vibrational levels that span nearly the entire potential are identified.
