Abstract

The ArHN+2 ionic complex has been studied by means of infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in the region between 2470 and 6000 cm−1. The rotational constants for the ground state of the complex extracted from combination differences and B″ = 0.080862(15) cm−1 and D″ = 5.25(20) × 10−8 cm−1. For the transitions lying in the range 2470–2800 cm−1 predissociation could only be observed for rotational levels above a certain J′ value. This observation allows the binding energy of the complex to be determined as D0 = 2781.5 ± 1.5 cm−1.
