The fluorescence excitation spectra of jet-cooled tropolone-Rg,(Rg=Ar, Kr, Xe) van der Waals r.omplexes in the A \*B2-g 'A, region have been measured to investigate proton tunneling in the excited state of the complexes. We found that the intermolecular vibrations in the A 'B1 states of tropolone(OD

β¦ Synopsis
Proton tunneling splitting has been measured for the S, + S, origin band of the tropolone: N, van der Waals complex by recording its laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum in a supersonic jet. A large decrease in the magnitude of the tunneling splitting, from 19.4 cm-' in bare tropolone to 6.0 cm-' in the 1: 1 complex, has been observed, indicating that nitrogen perturbs the reaction coordinate by significantly increasing the barrier height in the excited state. Strong coupling of the tunneling mode to the in-plane N, torsional mode is the likely source of this effect.
