Abstract: | In Part 2 of this series, we discuss homo- and hetero-nuclear noble gas dimers. Experimental and theoretical results for dimers
containing He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe are reviewed. These dimers are bound by London dispersive forces, which is one component
of the van der Waals or intermolecular forces. Though these are usually called van der Waals complexes or van der Waals molecules,
these dimers may be more appropriately called London molecules. Heliumdimer is a particularly interesting case with the equilibrium
internuclear distance estimated to be about 50 Angstrom. |
