title: Hydrated HCl clusters, HCl(H2O)(1-3), in helium nanodroplets: studies of free OH vibrational stretching modes.
abstract: In this work, infrared laser spectroscopy in helium droplets is used to study the solvation of HCl with small water clusters. Clusters of HCl(H(2)O)(n) with n = 1-3 and (HCl)(2)H(2)O have been identified in the free OH stretching spectral range of 3680-3820 cm(-1). The assignment of the infrared vibrational bands of the clusters is aided by ab initio calculations.
