✦ Synopsis

Absorption spectra of cis and trans conformers of formic acid (HCOOH) isolated in solid argon are analyzed in the mid-infrared (4000-400 cm À1 ) and near-infrared (7800-4000 cm À1 ) regions. The HCOOH absorption spectrum reveals matrix-site splitting for the trapped molecule. Narrowband tunable infrared radiation is used to pump a suitable vibrational transition of the trans conformer in order to promote site-selectively the conversion to the cis conformer and separate the spectral features of each site group. Several anharmonic resonances are identified for both conformers. The results of anharmonic vibrational ab initio calculations (CC-VSCF) for the trans and cis conformers of formic acid are reported and compared with the experimental spectra.

Two conformers (cis and trans) of potassium peroxynitrite (KOONO) were produced in an argon matrix containing potassium nitrate (KNO 3) at 13 K by means of in situ photolysis with an ArF excimer laser at 193 nm. Photoconversion among cis-and trans-KOONO, and KNO3, was achieved on irradiation of the

## Abstract Acetic acid (AA) monomer and its dimers were studied by means of Raman spectroscopy combined with the matrix isolation technique. All fundamental bands of CH~3~COOH monomer were identified, including the CH~3~ torsional mode. Additionally, three overtone or combination modes were observ
