Abstract

The chapter deals with optically populated RgI2(\( X{0}_g^{+},B{0}_u^{+} \) and IP) vdW complexes . Overview of experimental methods used as well as detailed description of design and characteristics of the set-up utilized supersonic molecular beam technique created in the author’s group are carried out. Survey of experimental and theoretical works devoted to studies of vdW complexes of T-shaped , linear and free-rotor configurations are performed. The particular attention has been given to RgI2(IP) vdW complexes.
