Neat fluorobenzene and mixed benzene-fluorobenzene clusters were studied via resonant two photon ionization (R2PI) spectroscopy to measure ultraviolet spectra through fluorobenzene's B2 ? A1 0-0 vibronic transition near 37813 cm-1. In separate experiments, the clusters were scanned from -200 cm-1 to +80 cm-1 shift relative to 37813 cm-1. Spectra reveal reproducible sharp spectral features for all dimers and trimers. We report initial efforts to interpret the spectra in terms of rigid cluster structures and isomerization.
