Abstract
We report the observation of the (0, 11, 0), (0, 20, 0), and (0, 00, 2) states of the weakly bound complex ArHF by direct far infrared absorption spectroscopy in a jet. A simultaneous analysis of all observed rovibrational frequencies has been conducted, and spectroscopic constants sensitive to the global topology of the intermolecular potential energy surface are given.
