The rotational spectra of three isotopologues of H(2)S···ICF(3) and four isotopologues of H(2)O···ICF(3) are measured from 7-18 GHz by chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The rotational constant, B(0), centrifugal distortion constants, D(J) and D(JK), and nuclear quadrupole coupling constant of (127)I, χ(aa)(I), are precisely determined for H(2)S···ICF(3) and H(2)O···ICF(3) by fitting observed transitions to the Hamiltonians appropriate to symmetric tops. The measured rotational constants allow determination of the molecular geometries. The C(2) axis of H(2)O/H(2)S intersects the C(3) axis of the CF(3)I sub-unit at the oxygen atom. The lengths of halogen bonds identified between iodine and sulphur, r(S···I), and iodine and oxygen, r(O···I), are determined to be 3.5589(2) Å and 3.0517(18) Å respectively. The angle, φ, between the local C(2) axis of the H(2)S/H(2)O sub-unit and the C(3) axis of CF(3)I is found to be 93.7(2)° in H(2)S···ICF(3) and 34.4(20)° in H(2)O···ICF(3). The observed symmetric top spectra imply nearly free internal rotation of the C(2) axis of the hydrogen sulphide/water unit about the C(3) axis of CF(3)I in each of these complexes. Additional transitions of H(2)(16)O···ICF(3), D(2)(16)O···ICF(3) and H(2)(18)O···ICF(3) can be assigned only using asymmetric top Hamiltonians, suggesting that the effective rigid-rotor fits employed do not completely represent the internal dynamics of H(2)O···ICF(3).

Article Synopsis
- - The fundamental frequency of trifluoroiodomethane (CFI) has been challenging to observe directly, and this study analyzes its low-microwave transitions and investigates rotational structure perturbations due to Coriolis interactions.
- - The initial spectrum showed poor agreement with existing models, leading researchers to refine their approach using anharmonic force-field calculations to better understand interacting vibrational levels.
- - After fitting 3593 transitions from various sources, the study derived parameters indicating a value of 267.28 cm for one measurement, although a lower possible value of 261.5 cm was also suggested based on vibrational level analysis.

Department of Chemistry, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK.
Photodetachment and 2D photoelectron spectra of the mass-selected I-·CF3I complex are presented together with electronic structure calculations. Calculations show that the I- is located at the iodine side of CF3I. Vertical and adiabatic detachment energies were measured at 4.

Complexes formed between HS and each of CuI, AgI, and AuI have been isolated and structurally characterised in the gas phase. The HS⋯MI complexes (where M is the metal atom) are generated through laser vaporisation of a metal rod in the presence of a low concentration of HS and CFI in a buffer gas of argon undergoing supersonic expansion. The microwave spectra of six isotopologues of each of HS⋯CuI, HS⋯AgI and three isotopologues of HS⋯AuI have been measured by chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy.
