Abstract
Experimental data pertinent to the vibrational predissociation mechanism of two types of van der Waals complex are presented and discussed. First, variations in the infrared band shape for excitation of the ethylene out-of-plane wag, ν_7, in the series of molecules (C_2H_4)_2, C_2H_4:HF, C_2H_4:Ne are discussed in terms of structure and relaxation mechanisms. Second, rotationally resolved laser excited fluorescence spectra for NeBr_2 and NeCl_2 are presented. There is a strong dependence of decay rate on molecular structure. Relaxation lifetimes vary from less than 10^(-12) s for C_2H_4 dimer to greater than 10^(-5) s for NeCl_2. Trends observed are qualitatively predicted by consideration of linear and angular momentum gap arguments. Other possible interpretations are discussed.
