Abstract :
We present the results of ab initio calculations, which include spin-orbit coupling, to support our recently-proposed interpretation of (1 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy of the Au–Ar complex. Mixing between the 2 Σ 1 / 2 + and 2Π1/2 (···6p1) states leads to a dramatic decrease of the well-depth of the latter, as well as a perturbation in the outer wall.
