	abstract = {The rotational spectra of the complexes Ar-AgF, Ar-AgCl, and Ar-AgBr have been observed in the frequency range 6-20 GHz using a pulsed jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. All the complexes are linear and rather rigid in the ground vibrational state, with the Ar-Ag stretching frequency estimated as similar to 140 cm(-1). Isotopic data have been used to calculate an r(0) structure for Ar-AgF, while for Ar-AgCl and Ar-AgBr partial substitution structures have also been obtained. To reduce zero-point vibrational effects a double substitution method (r(d)) was employed to calculate the structures of Ar-AgCl and Ar-AgBr. The Ar-Ag bond distance has been found to be rather short and to range from 2.56 Angstrom in Ar-AgF to 2.64 Angstrom in Ar-AgBr. Ab initio MP2 and density functional theory calculations for Ar-AgF and Ar-AgCl model the geometries and stretching frequency well, and predict an Ar-Ag bond energy in Ar-AgF of similar to 23 kJ mol(-1). These results indicate that the Ar-AgX complexes are more strongly bound than typical van der Waals complexes. Analysis of the halogen nuclear quadrupole coupling constants was unable to confirm whether extensive electron rearrangement occurs upon formation of the complexes.

	abstract = {Pure rotational spectra of six isotopomers of the rare gas trimer Ne-2-Kr and five isotopomers of the trimer Ne-2-Xe have been measured in their ground vibrational states using a Balle-Flygare-type cavity pulsed microwave Fourier transform spectrometer. Rotational constants have been evaluated, from which the geometries of the complexes have been derived. In the case of Ne-2-Kr it has been possible to obtain centrifugal distortion constants and to carry out a force field analysis. The magnitudes of the induced dipole moments of these trimers have been estimated from the {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}pi/2 condition.{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} The nuclear quadrupole hyperfine patterns due to Kr-83 and Xe-131 have been resolved, and the corresponding quadrupole coupling constants have been obtained. Observation of the spectra of these fundamental trimers has made it possible to compare their properties to those of their constituent rare gas dimers. The effects of three-body nonpairwise additive forces have been discussed in light of the structures obtained, the estimated induced dipole moments, and the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants.},

Rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained, and have yielded estimates of the lengths of the van der Waals bonds and of their harmonic vibration frequencies. Effects due to nuclear quadrupole coupling have been observed in Xe-131-containing complexes and have yielded the corresponding nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. The electric molecular dipole moments of the complexes have been estimated from the excitation pulse lengths, optimized for maximum signal strength (pi/2 condition).},
