Popis: We present an ab initio potential energy surface for the A2Σ+ state of the Ar⋯HS van der Waals molecule. The surface represents a fit to 196 points calculated at the RCCSD(T) level with an aug-cc-pV5Z basis set and encompasses both the Ar⋯SH and Ar⋯HS isomers. We have further calculated vibrational levels on this surface using a discrete variable representation (DVR) approach. The vibrational levels supported within the Ar⋯HS minimum are compared with levels derived from high-resolution laser induced fluorescence spectra. Predictions of vibrational levels for the Ar⋯SH isomer, which have not been observed experimentally, are also presented.
