Only a few weakly-bound complexes containing the O2 molecule have been characterized by high resolution spectroscopy, no doubt due to the complications added by the oxygen molecules unpaired electron spin. Here we report an extensive infrared spectrum of CO-O2, observed in the CO fundamental band region using a tunable quantum cascade laser to probe a pulsed supersonic jet expansion. The rotational energy level pattern derived from the spectrum consists of stacks of levels characterized by the total angular momentum, J, and its projection on the intermolecular axis, K. Five such stacks are observed in the ground vibrational state, and ten in the excited state (v(CO) = 1). They are divided into two groups, with no observed transitions between groups. The groups correspond to different projections of the O2 electron spin, and correlate with the two lowest rotational states of O2, (N, J) = (1, 0) and (1, 2). The rotational constant of the lowest K = 0 stack implies an effective intermolecular separation of 3.82 Angstroms, but this should be interpreted with caution since it ignores possible effects of electron spin. A new high-level 4-dimensional potential energy surface is developed for CO-O2, and rotational energy levels are calculated for this surface, ignoring electron spin. By comparing calculated and observed levels, it is possible to assign detailed quantum labels to the observed level stacks.

Spectra of ethylene dimers and trimers are studied in the nu11 and (for the dimer) nu9 fundamental band regions of C2H4 (~2990 and 3100 cm-1) using a tunable optical parametric oscillator source to probe a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion. The de
uterated trimer has been observed previously, but this represents the first rotationally resolved spectrum of (C2H4)3. The results support the previously determined cross-shaped (D2d) dimer and barrel-shaped (C3h or C3) trimer structures. However, the dimer spectrum in the nu9 fundamental region of C2H4 is apparently very perturbed and a previous rotational analysis is not well verified.
The fragmentation of carbon monoxide dimers induced by collisions with low energy Ar$^{9+}$ ions is investigated using the COLTRIMS technique. The presence of a neighbor molecule in the dimer serves here as a diagnostic tool to probe the lifetimes of
the $rm CO^{2+}$ molecular dications resulting from the collision. The existence of metastable states with lifetimes ranging from 2~ps to 200~ns is clearly evidenced experimentally through a sequential 3-body fragmentation of the dimer, whereas fast dissociation channels are observed in a so-called concerted 3-body fragmentation process. The fast fragmentation process leads to a kinetic energy release distribution also observed in collisions with monomer CO targets. This is found in contradiction with the conclusions of a former study attributing this fast process to the perturbation induced by the neighbor molecular ion.
We show that a single photon can ionize the two helium atoms of the helium dimer in a distance up to 10 {deg}A. The energy sharing among the electrons, the angular distributions of the ions and electrons as well as comparison with electron impact dat
a for helium atoms suggest a knock-off type double ionization process. The Coulomb explosion imaging of He_2 provides a direct view of the nuclear wave function of this by far most extended and most diffuse of all naturally existing molecules.
The infrared spectrum of the cross-shaped van der Waals complex N2O-CS2 is observed in the region of the N2O nu1 fundamental band (~2220 cm-1) using a tuneable diode laser to probe a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion. Both 14N- and 15N-substituted
species are studied. Analysis of their spectra establishes that this dimer has a cross-shaped structure, similar to its isoelectronic cousin CO2-CS2. This is the first spectroscopic observation of N2O-CS2, and the molecular parameters determined here should be useful for detection of its pure rotational microwave spectrum.
As opposed to purely molecular systems where electron dynamics proceed only through intramolecular processes, weakly bound complexes such as He droplets offer an environment where local excitations can interact with neighbouring embedded molecules le
ading to new intermolecular relaxation mechanisms. Here, we report on a new decay mechanism leading to the double ionization of alkali dimers attached to He droplets by intermolecular energy transfer. From the electron spectra, the process is similar to the well-known shake-off mechanism observed in double Auger decay and single-photon double ionization, however, in this case, the process is dominant, occurring with efficiencies equal to, or greater than, single ionization by energy transfer. Although an alkali dimer attached to a He droplet is a model case, the decay mechanism is relevant for any system where the excitation energy of one constituent exceeds the double ionization potential of another neighbouring molecule. The process is, in particular, relevant for biological systems, where radicals and slow electrons are known to cause radiation damage
