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

✦ Synopsis
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-shifted by 15 cm -~ and its adiabatic ionization energy is 65607 cm-~ (+ 3 cm ~), 85 cm-~ lower than that of bare naphthalene. Ab initio calculations at the level of second order Moller-Plesset theory give a potential energy minimum for the Ar atom at the distance of 3.4 A above the center of symmetry of naphthalene and the binding energy of 430 cm ] for the neutral complex.

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
