Popis: Measurements of the fundamental van der Waals stretching vibration Σ(000,vs=1) ←Σ(000,vs=0) of Ar–H2O [ν0=907 322.08(94) MHz] and a transition from the lowest excited internal rotor state Σ(101,vs=0) to the Σ(101,vs=1) level [ν0=1019 239.4(1.0) MHz] are presented. A simultaneous rotational analysis of the new stretching data with the internal rotor bands observed by us previously [J. Chem. Phys. 89, 4494 (1988)], including the effects of Coriolis interactions, provides experimental evidence for the new assignment of the internal rotor transitions suggested by Hutson in the accompanying paper. Fits to the rotational term values for the vs=0 states are used to derive effective radial potential energy surfaces for each of the Σ internal rotor states. The results show the well depth (153.4 cm−1) of the effective radial potential for the Σ(101,vs=0) level to be approximately 25 cm−1 deeper than that for the Σ(000,vs=0) ground state of the complex, indicating that the former is stabilized considerably more by t...
