Many weakly bound OCS-hydrocarbon complexes exhibit a relatively simple rotation-vibration band, characteristic of a T-shaped structure, which is redshifted (by 5–12  cm−1) from the OCS monomer nu1 frequency. Spectra of OCS with seven chain and ring hydrocarbons are described here. They allow a straightforward comparison of intermolecular force effects (vibrational shift and intermolecular separation) over a range of molecules, which could be extended to other hydrocarbons and other probes such as CO2 and N2O. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
