Abstract

We present the mass spectral and the photoelectron spectroscopic studies of dipole bound (H₂O)₂^-, (D₂O)₂^-, (H₂O)₂^-Ar_n=1,2,3, and (D₂O)₂^-Ar_n=1,2,3. We measured vertical detachment energies (VDEs) of these dipole bound cluster anions and also estimated their adiabatic electron affinities (EA_as) to be close to their VDEs, respectively. The photoelectron spectra of (H₂O)₂^-Ar_n=1,2,3 and (D₂O)₂^-Ar_n=1,2,3 closely resemble those of (H₂O)₂^- and (D₂O)₂^-, respectively except for a slight successive spectral shift by ~5 meV to a higher electron binding energy with additional argon atoms, which indicates that the argon atoms hardly perturb the water dimer anion geometry.
