The rotational spectrum of the pentafluoropyridine-Ne complex, generated in a supersonic jet, has been investigated using chirped-pulse microwave Fourier transform spectroscopy in the 2–8 GHz range. The spectra of the 20Ne and 22Ne species have been observed, and the rotational constants have been used to determine the structure of the complex. This structure, and those of the previously experimentally studied complexes benzene-Ne and pyridine-Ne, are an excellent benchmark for the theoretical calculations on these adducts. These complexes and hexafluorobenzene-Ne have been investigated at the CCSD/6-311++G(2d,p) level. The calculations reproduce the experimental structures well and show how the van der Waals complexes are stronger for the perfluorinated compound.

The anion photoelectron spectrum of the bromide–carbon monoxide complex is presented in combination with supporting ab initio calculations. The spectrum features transitions between anion and neutral van der Waals complexes, Br⋯CO. A stabilization energy of 0.14 ± 0.05 eV is extracted from the spectrum, while the predicted binding energy for the anion complex is 9.9 kJ mol–1 from CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations. The electron affinity of the Br⋯CO complex is 3.50 ± 0.05 eV. The ab initio calculations reveal a previously unreported minimum for the neutral radical complex, namely the van der Waals Br⋯OC linear complex.
