Abstract

Argon matrix spectra of the O3- -HF and SO2- -HF complexes are similar, and the structure deduced for O3- -HF from the infrared spectrum is similar to the microwave structure for SO2- -HF. All three ozone submolecule fundamentals were observed for the complex, and v1c was considerably enhanced in intensity relative to v3c. The asymmetric mixed isotopic ozone complexes exhibited split v1c bands which indicate inequivalent terminal oxygen atoms and attachment of HF at this position in the complex.
