High-resolution jet spectroscopy of weakly bound binary complexes involving water

High-resolution rotational and rovibrational spectroscopic studies of weakly bound binary complexes involving water are reviewed. A series of infrared (IR), microwave (MW) and millimetre-wave (MMW) studies is presented and discussed. From a literature overview, the necessity of further investigations of singly solvated molecules, especially in the MMW and IR frequency ranges, becomes apparent. New high-resolution spectroscopic data of weakly bound complexes involving water will help to refine our understanding of their internal dynamics, structures and interaction potentials, leading to the understanding of many physical, chemical and biological processes.
