Hydrated HCl Clusters, HCl(H2O)(1-3), in Helium Nanodroplets: Studies of Free OH Vibrational Stretching Modes
In this work, infrared laser spectroscopy in helium droplets is used to study the solvation of HCl with small water clusters. Clusters of HCl(H2O)(n) With n = 1-3 and (HCl)(2)H2O have been identified in the free OH. stretching spectral range of 3680-3820 cm(-1). The assignment of the infrared vibrational bands of the clusters is aided by ab initio calculations.
