Abstract

Spectral lineshapes of benzene/cyclohexane clusters (B·C_N-1, N=2-20) have been obtained by resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy in the vicinity of the benzene A_1g→B_2u 6₀¹ transition. An analysis of spectral shifts and multiplicities provides support for the structural shell-filling model used previously to account for (benzene)_Ncluster spectra. In particular, evidence for isomeric forms of the B·C₆ cluster is interpreted in terms of axial and equatorial sites in the pentagonal bipyramid structure.
