Abstract
Resonant Two Photon Ionization (R2PI) spectroscopy has been applied to the study of host–guest interactions in molecular clusters formed by supersonic exspansion. Here, the results of R2PI spectroscopy of the fluorinated organic molecules para and ortho-fluoro-sec-butylbenzene and their complexes with water and argon are reported and discussed. In particular, it is shown that the position of the fluorine atom on the aromatic ring influences the formation of different kind of complexes (σ versus π) with argon and water. Ab initio calculations were performed to get insight into the molecular shape and the structure of these clusters.
