title: Infrared spectra and intensities of Ar-H(2)O and O(2)-H(2)O complexes in the range of the nu(3) band of H(2)O.
abstract: Infrared spectra and intensities of the nu(3) band of H(2)O in Ar-H(2)O and O(2)-H(2)O complexes have been studied by helium nanodroplet spectroscopy. It was found that the H(2)O molecule rotates almost freely in both the Ar-H(2)O and O(2)-H(2)O complexes. Infrared intensities of the nu(3) band of H(2)O in these complexes were equal to that of an isolated H(2)O molecule within experimental errors. The obtained infrared spectra and infrared intensities were compared with those of the N(2)-H(2)O complex in helium droplets, which we recently reported.
