19. Conclusions  Assigned the spectrum of CH 2 ClF···HCCH (4 isotopologues) and CH 2 F 2 ···HCCH (3 isotopologues) Structure fits ○ Similar R C-C distance for analog HCCH complexes Dipole moments of CH 2 F 2 ···HCCH ○ Agree with ab initio to within expected deviation ○ No enhancement of the dipole moment from the measured monomer value Force constants and binding energies ○ Appears that the chlorine containing halomethanes are more strongly bound to acetylene than the other halomethanes studied thus far 19

20. Conclusions  Intermolecular Interactions Electrostatic model can be used to predict possible asymmetric structures ○ Preference of the lowest energy structure cannot be determined by only an electrostatic model ○ Orient a  Additional studies are still needed to reliably determine the types of intermolecular interactions that are influencing the structures of these complexes 20 a Stone, A.
