摘要:
The vibrational spectrum of Ar2HF in the 11 320–11 430 cm−1 region is recorded by intracavity laser-induced fluorescence. The intramolecular vibrational state, Σ0, in combination with the intermolecular vibrations, assigned as Πin-plane, Πout-of-plane and Σ1, of the complex have been observed. The Σ0 state correlates adiabatically with j=0 of HF (v=3); the Πin-plane, Πout-of-plane, and Σ1 states correlate adiabatically with j=1 of HF (v=3), respectively. We have determined the vibrational band origins (and rotational constants) of ν0=11 323.784 cm−1 (A=0.120 15, B=0.058 30, C=0.038 94 cm−1), ν0=11 387.730 cm−1 (A=0.122 68, B=0.057 05, C=0.038 42 cm−1), ν0=11 426.815 cm−1 (A=0.120 27, B=0.058 15, C=0.038 71 cm−1) and ν0=11 427.400 cm−1 (A=0.120 26, B=0.058 15, C=0.038 71 cm−1) for Σ0, Πin-plane, Πout-of-plane, and Σ1 states, respectively. The vibrational red shift for the pure HF stretch from vHF=0–3 is 49.023 cm−1. The in-plane and out-of-plane bending frequencies are 63.947 and 103.031 cm−1. The Σ1 state, which may be viewed as the Ar2FH structure is located 103.616 cm−1 above the Ar2HF Σ0 state. The spectral line shapes appear to be well fitted by a Doppler profile with FWHM≈120 MHz, indicating that the predissociation linewidths have a Lorentzian component of less than 10 MHz. These results are compared with those of Farrell and Nesbitt [J. Chem. Phys. 105, 9421 (1996)] for vHF=1. The present experimental data set is also compared with the quantitative predictions by Ernesti and Hutson [Phys. Rev. A 51, 239 (1995)] and therefore serves as a rigorous test for modeling nonadditivity of intermolecular interactions and their vibrational dependence. These comparisons show that the vibrational dependence of three-body terms is accurate in the region of potential minimum. For configurations far from the energy minimum, appreciable discrepancies appear to exist. The vibrational variation of the Πin-plane bending frequency is relatively poorly predicted, which strongly suggests the inadequacy in the present modeling of the intriguing nonadditive forces for this prototypical system.
