Abstract

Gas-phase electronic spectra of H2O@C+60 and D2O@C+60 are presented. These data were obtained by one-photon dissociation of weakly bound helium complexes synthesised in a 3 K ion trap. Mea- surements were recorded in the vicinity of the 2 Ag ,2 Bg ← X 2 Au electronic transitions of the C+60 cage. Two-colour hole burning experiments enabled nuclear spin isomer pure data to be obtained. The spectra are rich in structure with many absorptions attributed to internal excitation of the encapsulated molecule accompanying the C+60 electronic transition. The experimental data are com- plemented with density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP functional and 6-31++G∗∗ basis set.
