ELECTRONIC SPECTROSCOPY AND EXCITED STATE DYNAMICS OF THE AL-N2 COMPLEX

The laser excitation spectrum A (0,00,vS’)−X (0,00,0), has been observed for the Ar⋅SH complex. Rotational constants and bond lengths have been obtained for vibrational levels of the A and X states. A remarkable lengthening of the A state natural lifetime is observed upon Ar complexation.
