✦ Synopsis


We use high-resolution "zero kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy (ZEKE PES)" with two-colour two-photon resonant ionization for the investigation of the benzene-argon van der Waals complex in a supersonic skimmed jet. The ZEKE PE spectrum shows only a single peak of s 8 cm-' fwhm. We conclude that the complex undergoes only minimal geometry changes upon ionization. We determine the ionization energy of the complex from the sharp rise in the ZERE PE spectrum to be 74383 f 2 cm-', red-shifted by 172 cm-' from the parent benzene.

The I,-Ar van der Waals complex has been studied using two-colour (2 + 1') zero kinetic energy pulsed field ionisation spectroscopy. The ['I13,Jc 7s; 1, and the [2rI,,2]c 7s; 0: Rydberg states were used as resonant intermediate states for ionisation into the R ZlXs,2.8 and 2 2II1,2S p s in-orbit ion

The naphthalene-Ar van der Waals complex formed in a supersonic jet expansion was studied. Mass-selected multiphoton ionization and zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectra obtained in the two-color (1 + 1') ionization scheme are reported. The SI-S 0 %o transition in the complex is red-shift

The vibrational spectrum of the phenol-H20 cation complex is obtamed by two-colour resonant pump-probe "zero kinetic energy (ZEKE)" spectroscopy. The ZEKE electron signal only appears when the total photon energy exactly matches a transition to a cluster ion state. The results are: an accurate value
