Van der waals vibrations and binding energies of carbazole·Kr

Intermolecular bonding between a large polar aromatic molecule (carbazole) and a rare gas atom (Kr) is characterized by several laser spectroscopic methods. Intermolecular vibrations and bond dissociation energies are measured for the Soand S1states. Detailed tests of model calculations incorporating dispersive and inductive interactions indicate that the latter contribution to the binding energy is about 15%.
