The water-hydroxyl radical complex: A matrix isolation study.

Summary, in English

The water–hydroxyl radical complex was prepared by irradiating peroxy radicals in hydrogen-doped argon matrices. The low water content of the matrices made it possible to observe the fundamental bands of the complexed water molecule. The experimental results are compared with the results from ab initio calculations. The complex rotates around the O–O axis in the matrix. ©2003 American Institute of Physics.
