β¦ Synopsis
Interaction potentials between Ar (IS,) and hydroxyl radicals in the A%+ and X 'Hi,, states are constructed as a function of OH (center-of-mass)
to Ar separation distance. The intermolecular potentials are derived from spectral analysis of the OH-Ar fluorescence excimtion spectrum observed about the OH A *Z+ (11' =0)-X 2n,,z(~" = 0) transition. Rotational analysis of features ascribed to an OH-Ar stretching mode in the excited state yields an OH-Ar sepal-ation distance of < 2.9 A at the equilibrium position of the cxcitcd state potential and an average OH-Ar van der Waals bond length of 3.6 A at the zero-point lcvcl of the ground state.
