Unusual properties of C 2 -Rg complexes Theory predicts linear equilibrium structure. The potential energy surfaces do not show secondary minima for the T-shaped geometry (complete disagreement with the pair potential model) Data for matrix isolated C 2 -Xe indicates chemical bond formation

Main results for C 2 -Ne Coriolis interaction between K=0 and K=1 levels influences rotational constants. Deperturbation yields B’=0.100 cm -1 for both manifolds. E(K=1)>E(K=0) shows that C 2 (D)-Ne has a linear equilibrium geometry. The barrier to internal rotation is 15 cm -1. B”(exp)=0.100 cm -1,B”(theory)=0.0996 cm -1 Electronically excited state is slightly more deeply bound, D 0 ’=D 0 ”+9.7 cm -1 (D 0 ”(theory)=31.6 cm -1 )
11
LIF was not observed from C 2 -Ar, probably due to electronic predissociation CN-Rg examined as the predissociations can be followed easily using OODR techniques Bonding for CN-Xe appears to be unusually strong

Conclusions for CN-Kr, Xe It is expected that linear CN(B)-Kr, Xe potentials are much more deeply bound than typical van der Waals wells (stabilized by charge transfer contributions). Spectra show blue shifted bands with typical vdW vibrational frequencies - implies that the Franck- Condon factors do not provide access to the most deeply bound levels. Contrast between gas-phase and matrix data for CN-Xe shows that many-body forces are important in the matrix environment.
