Vibrational investigations of CO2-H2O, CO2-(H2O)(2), and (CO2)(2)-H2O complexes isolated in solid neon

Abstract: The van der Waals complex of H2O with CO2 has attracted considerable theoretical interest as a typical example of a weak binding complex with a dissociation energy less than 3 kcal/mol. Up to now, experimental vibrational data are sparse. We have studied by FTIR the complexes involving CO2 and water molecules in solid neon...
