abstract
The fundamental 1, combinations 1 + 202, 1 + 12, 1 + 3, 1 + 202 + 3, hot band 1 + 202 - 202, and difference band 1 - 202 have been analyzed rovibrationally for both 79Br and 81Br isotopomers in Ar-HBr. The bands involving 202 directly sample the second minimum of the intermolecular potential surface of the complex, corresponding to the isomeric structure Ar-BrH. Nuclear quadrupole substructure has also been partially resolved in the Q branch transitions of the 1 + 12 band. In addition, a strong Coriolis perturbation between the 1 + 1e2 and 1 + 3 states was investigated. A model potential surface for Ar-HBr (HBr 1, = 1) was derived and compared with the H4 intermolecular potential for Ar-HBr (HBr 1 = 0).
