PACS: 33.15.Mt, 33.20.Ea, 33.20.Vq 1. Introduction The water molecule is of C2v symmetry. In the gas phase, its rovibrational spectrum is well known up to 26000 cm–1 [1–3] and in the solid state, the structures of the different forms of ice have been extensively studied [4–6]. Ice grains play an important role in the chemistry of the interstellar medium and of planetary atmospheres [7,8]. D’Hendecourt et al. [9] have shown from IRAS-LRS observations of protostars, that CO2 is a wide-spread and very common compo- nent of the interstellar medium. The complexes be- tween H2O and CO2 have been also the subject of se- veral previous studies [10,11]. It is well known that the matrix isolation tech- nique, combined with IR absorption spectroscopy, re- mains a powerful tool to study the formation and the geometry of weakly bonded complexes. Before looking at the H2O:CO2 complex, pure H2O in matrices had to be studied under our experimental conditions. Since the work of Glasel [12], all evidence indicates that H2O trapped in inert matrices, is almost freely rotat- ing [13–17]. After some initial controversies, there is now general agreement on the assignment of the rovibrational absorptions in the �2 and �1/�3 regions in solid argon [16]. This assignment is also very im- portant for all matrix isolation studies because water is a common impurity. In the same way, as CO2 is also always present as an impurity in matrix experiments, the identification of complexes of water with CO2 is essential. In the present paper, we will focus attention on the hindered rotational motion of water molecules in solid argon. After a brief description of the experimental conditions, we will present the calculation of the cold gas transitions. Then, experimental results will be presented including temperature and time effects. An assignment of the lines will be proposed. The last sec- tion is devoted to identification of absorption lines of CO2:H2O weakly bonded complexes through double doping experiments with CO2. The results will be dis- cussed in the light of recent data. 2. Experimental The experimental setup has already been described [18]. We only review here the main and specific fea- tures. Ar and CO2 (L’Air Liquide – 99.995 % and 99.99 % respective purity) are used without purifica- tion. Water is deionized, doubly distilled and care- fully degassed. The gaseous mixture is obtained by standard manometric procedures. As water is adsorbed © Xavier Michaut, Anne-Marie Vasserot, and Luce Abouaf-Marguin, 2003 on the walls of the stainless steel part of the sample system, we carefully passivated the system with a pressure of water equal to its partial pressure in the gas mixture. During deposition, we checked that wa- ter absorptions were proportional to the amount of de- posited gas mixture. To study weakly bonded complexes, the relative concentrations have to be carefully chosen [19]. For molecules which do not react with each other, as is the present case [10], more than the statistical number of mixed pairs can be obtained by premixing the two molecules with argon in the gas sample [20]. The samples were obtained by the slow spray-on technique (10 mmol/h) of the gaseous mixture onto a gold plated mirror held at 20 K. The solid sample is then cooled to 6 K and annealed at least up to 30 K to allow a reorganization of the polycristalline film (nar- rowing of the lines) and a migration of molecular spe- cies. Absorption spectroscopy is performed using a Bruker IFS 113V FTIR spectrometer, with a maxi- mum resolution of 0.03 cm–1 and, for this resolution, an accuracy better than 0.02 cm–1. Broad lines fre- quencies are estimated within a 0.1 cm–1 precision. 3. Calculation of the «cold» gas transitions As the rotation is almost free, a comparison with the expected spectrum of the gas at 6 and 20 K is help- ful for the transition assignments. The water mole- cule, C2v symmetry type, is an asymmetric rotor, with two magnetic species, ortho (spin degeneracy 3) and para (spin degeneracy 1). In Fig. 1, the rovibrational transitions are indicated for the three fundamental bands of H2O, numbered in increasing frequencies of the gas phase. At 20 K, the J = 0 and 1 energy levels are the only ones sufficiently populated to give rise to de- tectable absorptions. If the nuclear spin conversion were fast, for the �2 mode, only the para line 4 should appear at 6 K. But, as well known, the conversion is very slow in low temperature matrices [21]. Then 2 other lines, the ortho 3 and 5 ones, remain detectable, as long as Boltzmann population of 20 K is trapped for some time on the 101 ortho level. Using the intensities reported in HITRAN96 data base [1], bar spectra can be calculated at 20 and 6 K (graphs labeled G on Figs. 2). 4. Experimental results in the �2 region of H2O We will now discuss in detail the �2 range and then, give the results obtained with similar arguments for the �1 and �3 bands. The observed frequencies, measured with 0.03 cm–1 maximum resolution are in Table 1, and compared to the most recent literature data [16]. A typical spectrum of a sample H2O/Ar = 1/500 is presented in Fig. 2 at 20 and 6 K. Temperature effect The two lines at 1556.6 and 1573.2 cm–1 and the broad structure around 1690 cm–1 which appear at 20 K, disappear totally at 6 K. The effect is reversible. By comparison with the gas spectrum, it seems obvi- ous that those structures correspond, respectively, to lines 1, 2 and 6/7. Intensity comparisons with the gas are also in favor of this interpretation, as it is known that the matrix does not change dramatically the rela- tive intensities of the transitions.

At this point, we would disagree with the conclu- sions of previous work in solid argon [13–16] which assign lines 6 and 7 to the double structure observed at 1660 cm–1. This does not seem possible since these lines do not start from the lowest energy level. They should disappear at 6 K, as lines 1, 2 and 6/7, whereas this 1660 cm–1 double structure remains. On the other hand, the 1690 cm–1 structure appears only when the temperature is raised. Our very recent expe- riments, at 20 K, with high optical density samples [22], show that in this broad structure at 1690 cm–1, which exhibits clearly two maxima (1689.7 and 1697.8 cm–1), the low frequency maximum decreases much faster than the high frequency one as the temperature is lowered. This low frequency shoulder corresponds then to a transition from a level with a higher energy gap to the fundamental than the high frequency one and should be assigned to line 7. So the line at 1697.8 cm–1 corre- sponds to transition 6. Those lines are broad, as the 1636.3 one, compared to lines 2, 4 and 5, because they involve a J = 2 level which is more affected than levels J = 0 or 1 by the coupling to the matrix. 1120 Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur, 2003, v. 29, Nos. 9/10 Xavier Michaut, Anne-Marie Vasserot, and Luce Abouaf-Marguin Fig. 2.

At 6 K, the 1607.82, 1623.72 and 1636.3 cm–1 lines correspond respectively to transitions 3, 4 and 5 in agreement with previous assignments. Transition 5, which involves a J = 2 level, is also broad. So far, there is no obvious assignment for the dou- ble structure at 1660 cm–1, which remains at 6 K, does not vanish at 20 K, showing only a weak broadening. By changing the concentrations, and upon annealing, we have checked that its intensity is related to the concentration of the monomer absorbers. In Fig. 2, one additional line appears at 1592.94 cm–1, which corresponds to the dimer of H2O, in agreement with previous work as we notice later on Table 3 (see Sec. 6). Furthermore, the line measured at 1589.2 cm–1 [16] may be assigned to nonrotating molecules [13–16]. Whatever our experimental conditions, with samples of pure H2O, this line was always very weak. In section 6 of this paper, we will show that it is due to the H2O:CO2 complex, since CO2 is generally pres- ent as an impurity in the samples. Time effect As already mentioned, the nuclear spin conversion from the ortho to the para form is slow in low tempe- rature matrices [21]. The time evolution of the spectra can confirm the assignments, since ortho lines should decrease to the benefit of para lines, when starting from nonequilibrated Boltzmann populations at 6 K. Figure 3 exhibits these intensity changes after two hours. The first spectrum is taken just after a fast cooling from 30 K. Lines 3 and 5 decrease when 4 in- creases, which is consistent with the assignments. In the double structure near 1660 cm–1, the high fre- quency part (1661.3 cm–1) decreases and the low fre- quency one (1657.4 cm–1) increases correlatively. This structure presents an ortho and a para compo- nents, is situated between 50 and 100 cm–1 far from the pure vibrational frequency and remains at 6 K. It does not belong to the rovibrational structure, but is related to the number of rotating molecules. It may then be a manifestation of the rotation-translation coupling (RTC) involved in the movement of the mo- lecule in its cage [23]. The weak lines at 1592.94 and 1610.12 cm–1 are due to dimers (Table 3). The line 1610.12 cm–1 is hidden in the high frequency wing of line 3 in Fig. 2 but appears after annealing to 30 K (Fig. 3). 5. Experimental results in the �1 and �3 regions of H2O The 3600–3800 cm–1 region is represented in Fig. 2 at 20 and 6 K (H2O/Ar = 1/500), together with the calculated gaseous bar spectra. With the same argu- ments as for �2, we present the assignments in Table 2, which agree with the most recent work [16].

Time effect in the �2 region of H2O, due to nuclear spin conversion at 6 K. The spectra (H2O/Ar = 1/1000) are recorded with 0.15 cm–1 resolution, after annealing at 30 K (thickness � 220 �m) after a time t = 0 (a) and 2 (b) hours; the numbers refer to the transitions of Fig. 1; (c) presents the difference of spectra (a) and (b), o and p are orthomagnetic and paramagnetic species. However, two points should be noted: i) the lines involving a J = 2 level are not as broad as in the �2 case, ii) there is no evidence of a RTC structure as ob- served for �2. This could be explained by a coupling of the rotation-vibration to the translation in the cage weaker for the stretching modes �1, � than for the bending mode �2. Some dimeric species are also observed in this fre- quency range. The measured frequencies (see Table 3) are in good agreement with the literature [16]. 6. Double doping experiments with CO2: the complex H2O frequency ranges To look at the H2O:CO2 complex near H2O absorp- tions, the sample should be concentrated in CO2 [19]. However, as CO2 has a great tendency to form poly- mers, its concentration should be kept low enough to avoid aggregates of H2O with more than one CO2 mo- lecule. In Fig. 4, we can compare typical spectra ob- tained with a sample of pure H2O (spectrum P — H2O/A = 1/500) to spectra of CO2 double doped samples (spectra D1 — H2O/CO2/Ar = 10/5/5000 and D2 — H2O/CO2/Ar = 10/2/5000), recorded with 0.03 cm–1 resolution. The spectra were recorded at 6 K, after an annealing at 30 K, which enhances the complex absorptions. Some new lines appear in the double doped experiment due to the simultaneous pres- ence of H2O and CO2. As the dilutions remain high enough, there is a weak probability of trimolecular species. With the H2O dimer absorptions, for the H2O:CO2 complex, the most intense narrow structures which can be measured are indicated in Table 3. By varying the relative concentration of CO2, we have checked that the behavior of these lines is consistent with a 1:1 pair, as they grow proportionally with the concentration of CO2 for a given concentration of H2O. Our results are compared in Table 3 with the recent ones of Svensson et al. [24].

In the H2O �1 range, beside the combination bands (2���� ) of CO2 reported by Schriver et al.

Double doping with CO2: water regions at 6 K. The spectra are recorded with 0.03 cm–1 resolution, after anneal- ing at 30 K; P is a pure H2O sample (H2O/Ar = 10/5000, thickness � 60 �m); D1 and D2 are the double doped sam- ples (D1: H2O/CO2/Ar = 10/5/5000, thickness � 80 �m; D2: H2O/CO2/Ar = 10/2/5000, thickness � 60 �m). tected at 3638 cm–1. Near �2, two clear structures ap- pear at 1589.48 cm–1, with shoulders at 1589.04 and 1589.81 cm–1 and a narrower line at 1589.86 cm–1. The broad and weak absorptions around 1591.5 and 1591.8 cm–1 are also due to the presence of CO2. The spectra, for the �3 mode, exhibit clearly a broader ab- sorption at 3732.46 cm–1 close to the combination bands (� �� ) of CO2 [25]. The number of these absorptions, especially for the �2 mode of H2O, is probably due to multiple trapping sites for the complex and different geometries, as the vibrational modes of H2O are not degenerate. The broad structures could be due to very perturbed crys- talline double cages. CO2 frequency ranges In typical experiment presented in Fig. 5, the sam- ples are more dilute in CO2 (spectra P: CO2/Ar = = 1/5000 and D: CO2/H2O/Ar = 1/10/5000). The striking new features are: one narrow structure at 668.05 cm–1 (with a shoulder at 667.95 cm–1), a much weaker broad one at 656.03 cm–1 in the �2 range, and one narrow line at 2340.20 cm–1 in the �3 range. These results are consistent with those reported in the litera- ture [24]. We should mention that the line at 2340.2 cm–1 had already been assigned to this complex by Guasti et al. [26] in 1978, in experiment on CO2 in solid argon, for which an amount of water was present due to a leak in the system. 7. Conclusion Our new experimental data has led to some new as- signments of the rovibrational frequencies of H2O on the �2 mode, and the absorptions of the H2O:CO2 complex in the H2O regions in argon matrix. From our refined measurements of rovibrational frequencies, the «effective» rotational constants of water trapped in solid argon may be determined. Furthermore, our ex- perimental results will support calculations able to ex- plain the RTC structure. For the complex with CO2, some more experimental work is needed to understand the different trapping sites and structures. A modeling similar to that developed for the CO:CO2 complex [27] will be attempted. Acknowledgments The authors acknowledge Louise Schriver-Mazzuoli for helpful discussions. 1. L.S. Rothman, C.P.

Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in the frequency range 400–4000 cm–¹ has been used to investigate the absorption of H₂O and H₂O:CO₂ complex isolated in solid argon. Thanks to the lowest temperature reached in our experiment, temperature effects and nuclear spin conversion studies allow us to propose a new assignment of the rovibrational lines in the bending band n₂ for the quasi-freely rotating H₂O. An additional wide structure observed in this band shows two maxima around 1657.4 and 1661.3 cm–¹, with nuclear spin conversion of the high frequency part into the low frequency one. This structure is tentatively attributed to a rotation-ranslation coupling of the molecule in the cage. However, the equivalent effect is not observed in the vibrational stretching bands n₁ and n₃. Finally, by double doping experiments with CO₂, important new structures appear, leading us to unambiguously extract the frequencies of the lines of the H₂O:CO₂ complex.
The authors acknowledge Louise Schriver-Mazzuoli for helpful discussions.
