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 microwav
