✦ Synopsis
A weakly bound complex of NH 3 and F 2 has been detected as a pre-reactive intermediate in mixtures of the component gases and characterised by means of its ground-state rotational spectrum. Chemical reaction of NH 3 and F 2 was precluded by using a fast-mixing nozzle in a Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer. Spectroscopic constants B o, Dj and D~r are reported for both symmetric-top isotopomers H 3 R4N...F2 and H 3 nSN...F2, and the 14N-nuclear quadrupole coupling constant is given for the former species. The complex has a geometry H3N...F-F of C3v symmetry, with r(N...F) = 2.708(7) A and the intermolecular force constant k,~ = 4.69(3) N m-i.
