Propylene oxide is one of the simplest organic chiral molecules and has attracted considerable interest from the scientific community a few years ago, when it was discovered in the interstellar medium. Here, we report a preliminary study on the interaction between propylene oxide and rare-gas atoms, specifically He, Ne, and Ar. The interaction potentials as a function of the distance between the center-of-mass of propylene oxide and the rare-gas-atom are calculated for fourteen leading configurations at CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory has been employed for the analysis of the intermolecular potential, revealing that most of the contribution is given by dispersion and exchange forces.

Infrared spectra of Rg1,2 - C6H6 complexes (Rg = He, Ne, Ar) are observed in the region of the nu12 fundamental of C6H6 using a pulsed supersonic jet expansion and a tunable optical parametric oscillator laser source. The mixed trimer He - Ne - C6H6 is also detected. Four bands are analyzed for each complex, namely nu12 itself (~3048 cm-1) and three linked combination bands (~3079, 3100, and 3102 cm-1). The results are consistent with previous ultraviolet and microwave results, with Ne2 - C6H6 and He - Ne - C6H6 being analyzed spectroscopically here for the first time.
We report on a direct method to measure the internuclear potential energy curve of diatomic systems. A COLTRIMS reaction microscope was used to measure the squares of the vibrational wave functions of H$_{2}$, He$_{2}$, Ne$_{2}$, and Ar$_{2}$. The Sc hrodinger equation relates the curvature of the wave function to the potential V(R) and therefore offers a simple but elegant way to extract the shape of the potential.
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the rotationally inelastic scattering of OH ($X,^2Pi_{3/2}, J=3/2, f$) radicals with the collision partners He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and D$_2$ as a function of the collision energy between $sim 7 0$ cm$^{-1}$ and 400~cm$^{-1}$. The OH radicals are state selected and velocity tuned prior to the collision using a Stark decelerator, and field-free parity-resolved state-to-state inelastic relative scattering cross sections are measured in a crossed molecular beam configuration. For all OH-rare gas atom systems excellent agreement is obtained with the cross sections predicted by close-coupling scattering calculations based on accurate emph{ab initio} potential energy surfaces. This series of experiments complements recent studies on the scattering of OH radicals with Xe [Gilijamse emph{et al.}, Science {bf 313}, 1617 (2006)], Ar [Scharfenberg emph{et al.}, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. {bf 12}, 10660 (2010)], He, and D$_2$ [Kirste emph{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A {bf 82}, 042717 (2010)]. A comparison of the relative scattering cross sections for this set of collision partners reveals interesting trends in the scattering behavior.
The desorption of excited rubidium (Rb) atoms off the surface of helium (He) nanodroplets is studied in detail using femtosecond time-resolved photoion and photoelectron imaging spectroscopy in combination with quantum wave packet simulations. The go od agreement of the measured time-dependent velocity distributions with the simulation when exciting the Rb dopant atoms into the 6p-state supports the pseudo-diatomic model (PDM) for the Rb-He droplet interaction, even on the level of quantum wave packet dynamics. Time-resolved photoelectron spectra reveal the partitioning of excitation energy into the dopant and the droplet degrees of freedom.
Feynman-Hibbs (FH) effective potentials constitute an appealing approach for investigations of many-body systems at thermal equilibrium since they allow us to easily include quantum corrections within standard classical simulations. In this work we a pply the FH formulation to the study of Ne$_N$-coronene clusters ($N=$ 1-4, 14) in the 2-14 K temperature range. Quadratic (FH2) and quartic (FH4) contributions to the effective potentials are built upon Ne-Ne and Ne-coronene analytical potentials. In particular, a new corrected expression for the FH4 effective potential is reported. FH2 and FH4 cluster energies and structures -obtained from energy optimization through a basin-hoping algorithm as well as classical Monte Carlo simulations- are reported and compared with reference path integral Monte Carlo calculations. For temperatures $T> 4$ K, both FH2 and FH4 potentials are able to correct the purely classical calculations in a consistent way. However, the FH approach fails at lower temperatures, especially the quartic correction. It is thus crucial to assess the range of applicability of this formulation and, in particular, to apply the FH4 potentials with great caution. A simple model of $N$ isotropic harmonic oscillators allows us to propose a means of estimating the cut-off temperature for the validity of the method, which is found to increase with the number of atoms adsorbed on the coronene molecule.
