Abstract

The Ar-O₃ van der Waals complex is produced in a nozzle expansion and studied by radio frequency and microwave molecular beam spectroscopy. The rotational constants are A=12686, B=1947, C=1716 MHz. Stark effect data produce the following dipole moment components: μ_a=0. 1010, μ_b=0.0, μ_c=0.4643 D. These molecular properties are only consistent with a structure in which the Ar atom is 3.42 Å from the center of mass of O₃ and the O₃ plane is approximately perpendicular to the axis connecting Ar to the O₃ center of mass. Large amplitude vibrational motion of O₃ within the complex is observed.
