Structures of Van der Waals complexes are predicted by a simple model based on electrostatic interaction between the monomers. Point multipoles are assigned to the atoms and embedded in hard spheres to represent short-range repulsions. Structures deduced for some 29 complexes are in agreement with experiment, and numerous predictions are made.

ABSTRACTThe experimental fact that measured elastic and structural properties of superlattices are strongly correlated can be understood on the basis of a simple model based on the packing of hard spheres. The model is consistent with features of many models that have been proposed to explain the supermodulus effect, but contrary to previous explanations, it allows predictions for a given pair of constituents to be made. For an arbitrary pair of elements, it predicts the existence or non-existence of an elastic anomaly, and a rough estimate of its magnitude.

s-Tetrazine argon complexes T−Arn (n = 1, 2) are formed in a supersonic expansion of argon seeded with s-tetrazine. The expansion was conducted through a nozzle of 50 or 100 μm with an argon stagnation pressure between 1 and 1.5 bar. From spectrally resolved measurements it is clear that vibrational redistribution processes as well as vibrational predissociation processes take place after SVL excitation within the complex.From rise and decay time experiments it can be concluded, that after excitation of the 6a1 complex level, the above mentioned processes are consecutive and not parallel. It appears that the out of plane mode 16a couples with the Van der Waals stretching mode. The predissociation rate of the 16a2 complex is observed to be 2.3 × 109 s−1.
