Abstract
Direct observations of infrared absorption in the weakly bound dimer of carbonyl sulphide, produced in pulsed molecular beams, have been made. Diode laser spectra in the 5 micron, carbonyl stretching, wavelength region were recorded with FWHM linewidths of approximately 100 MHz. All of the observations are consistent with OCS dimer having a C 2 h , centrosymmetric geometry, with the centres of mass of the monomers nearly opposite one another. This essentially perpendicular structure places the S atoms close to the centre of the complex. The perpendicular distance between the monomer axes is 3·64 Å. Intermolecular potential functions containing dispersion and electrostatic contributions are discussed.
