Bond energy of complexes of neon with aromatic molecules: rotational spectrum and dynamics of pyridine–neon

Abstract

The equilibrium configuration of the very weakly bonded pyridine⋯Ne complex has been deduced from its free jet millimeter-wave spectrum; the three van der Waals motions have approximated fundamentals in the range 19–31 cm^–1 and the dissociation energy has been estimated to be 1.1 kJ mol^–1.
