title: Intermolecular potential energy surface of Ar-NO.
abstract: Rotational spectra of an open-shell complex, Ar-NO, in the electronic ground state have been analyzed by employing an analysis using a free-rotor model, where previously observed data by Mills et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 90, 3331 (1986); 90, 4961 (1986)] and additional transitions observed by Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy in the present study are simultaneously analyzed with a standard deviation of the least-squares fit to be 27.5 kHz. A two-dimensional intermolecular potential energy surface for Ar-NO has been determined from the analysis. The determined potential energy surface is compared with those of Ar-OH and Ar-SH, which are also complexes containing an open-shell species with the 2Pi ground electronic state.
