Abstract
Series of resolved high n (40 < n < 110) Rydberg states of the benzene Ne van der Waals cluster are measured by delayed field ionization aft er double resonance excitation with Fourier-transform limited UV laser pulses. A cross-correlation analysis yields the first rotationally re solved spectrum of an aromatic molecule noble gas cluster ion, its ana lysis leads to accurate values for the adiabatic ionization energy (AI E = 74497.512(30) cm(-1)) of the benzene Ne cluster and the rotational constants of the cluster ion. The average van der Waals bonding lengt h of the Ne atom from the (benzene)(+)-plane is 3.320(2) Angstrom. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
