Abstract
The nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCCs) for the nitrogen and oxygen nuclei in N(2)O have been determined using a variety of computational methods (MP2, QCISD, DFT with B3LYP, PBE0, and B3PW91 functionals, CCSD, CCSD(T), CASSCF, and MRCI) combined with correlation-consistent basis sets. When compared to the available experimental determinations, the results demonstrate that only CCSD(T) and MRCI methods are capable of accurately predicting the NQCCs of the central and terminal nitrogen atoms. The spin-rotation and magnetic shielding tensors have also been determined and compared to experimental measurements where available. (14)N and (17)O NMR relaxation data for N(2)O in the gas phase and a variety of solvents is reported. The increase in the ratio of (14)N spin-lattice relaxation times in solvent for the central and terminal nitrogens supports previous reports of the modification of the electric field gradients at these nuclei in van der Waals complexes. Ab initio computations for the linear FH···N(2)O complex confirm the large change in EFGs imposed by a single perturber.

Abstract
A new four-dimensional ab initio potential energy surface for N(2)O-He is constructed at the CCSD(T) level with an aug-cc-pVQZ basis set together with bond functions. The vibrational coordinates Q(1) and Q(3) of N(2)O are explicitly included, due to the strong coupling between the symmetric and asymmetric stretches of N(2)O. A global potential energy surface is obtained by fitting the original potential points to a four-dimensional Morse∕long range (MLR) analytical form. In the fitting, the ab initio noise in the long range region of the potential is smoothed over by theoretically fixed long range parameters. Two-dimensional intermolecular potentials for both the ground and the excited υ(3) states of N(2)O are then constructed by vibrationally averaging the four-dimensional potential. Based on the two-dimensional potentials, we use the path integral Monte Carlo algorithm to calculate the vibrational band origin shifts for the N(2)O-He(N) clusters using a first order perturbation theory estimate. The calculated shifts agree reasonably well with the experimental values and reproduce the evolution tendency from dimer to large clusters.

Abstract
The infrared spectrum of CO(2)-(pH(2))(2) trimers is predicted by performing exact basis-set calculations on a global potential energy surface defined as the sum of accurately known two-body pH(2)-CO(2) (J. Chem. Phys. 2010, 132, 214309) and pH(2)-pH(2) potentials (J. Chem. Phys. 2008, 129, 094304). These results are compared with new spectroscopic measurements for this species, for which 13 transitions are now assigned. A reduced-dimension treatment of the pH(2) rotation has been employed by applying the hindered-rotor averaging technique of Li, Roy, and Le Roy (J. Chem. Phys. 2010, 133, 104305). Three-body effects and the quality of the potential are discussed. A new technique for displaying the three-dimensional pH(2) density in the body-fixed frame is used, and shows that in the ground state the two pH(2) molecules are localized much more closely together than is the case for the two He atoms in the analogous CO(2)-(He)(2) species. A clear tunneling splitting is evident for the torsional motion of the two pH(2) molecules on a ring about the CO(2) molecular axis, in contrast to the case of CO(2)-(He)(2) where a more regular progression of vibrational levels reflects the much lower torsional barrier.

Abstract
The rovibrational energy levels (J = 0–3) and rotational spectra of seven isotopologues of the OCS–(He)2 complex have been determined by numerically exact basis set calculations. The interaction energy is represented as a sum of two-body terms consisting of the OCS–He potential, which Howson and Hutson (J. Chem. Phys. 2001, 115, 5059) obtained at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory, and the He–He potential that Jeziorska et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 2007, 127,124303) obtained with SAPT theory. Three-body effects and the quality of the potential are discussed. Comparison with experiment shows that microwave transitions can be predicted by this additive approach with an accuracy equal or better than 0.7% for all the observed spectral lines. A method for the three-dimensional representation of the helium density in the body-fixed frame is presented that highlights the highly delocalized nature of the helium subsystem.

Abstract
High resolution microwave and millimeter-wave spectra of HeN-CO clusters with N up to 10, produced in a molecular expansion, were observed. Two series of J = 1-0 transitions were detected, which correspond to the a-type and b-type J = 1-0 transitions of He1-CO. The B rotational constant initially decreases with N and reaches a minimum at N = 3. Its subsequent rise indicates the transition from a molecular complex to a quantum solvated system already for N = 4. For N > or =6, the B value becomes larger than that of He1-CO, indicating an almost free rotation of CO within the helium environment.

Abstract
High resolution spectra of (4)He(N)-CO(2) clusters are studied in the region of the CO(2) nu(3) fundamental band (approximately 2300 cm(-1)). The clusters are produced in a pulsed supersonic jet expansion from a cooled nozzle source and probed by direct absorption using a tunable diode laser operating in a rapid-scan mode. Four carbon dioxide isotopes ((16)O(12)C(16)O, (16)O(13)C(16)O, (18)O(13)C(18)O, and (16)O(13)C(18)O) are used to support the analysis, and because additional rotational transitions are allowed for the asymmetric one ((16)O(13)C(18)O). Resolved R(0) (J=1<--0) rotation-vibration transitions are observed for clusters up to N=60. A detailed rotational analysis is possible up to N approximately 20 and, with some assumptions, to N approximately 37 and beyond. The derived rotational constants (B values) vary smoothly with N and show evidence for broad oscillations similar to those already reported for He(N)-OCS and He(N)-N(2)O. Possible indications of a disruption are observed in the J=2 levels of larger clusters (N>22) which could be caused by interactions with a "dark" helium cluster modes.
