Abstract
Gas-phase electronic spectra of HO@C and DO@C are presented. These data were obtained by one-photon dissociation of weakly bound helium complexes synthesised in a 3 K ion trap. Measurements were recorded in the vicinity of the electronic transitions of the C 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 electronic transition. The experimental data are complemented with density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP functional and 6-31++G** basis set.
