Infrared spectra in the carbon monoxide CO stretch region (\u22482150 cm-1) are assigned to the previously unobserved O-bonded form of the CO2 -CO dimer ("isomer 2"), which has a planar T-shaped structure like that of the previously observed C-bonded form ("isomer 1"), but with the CO rotated by 180\ub0. The effective center of mass intermolecular distances are 3.58 \uc5 for isomer 2 as compared to 3.91 \uc5 for isomer 1. In addition to the fundamental band, two combination bands are observed for isomer 2, yielding values for two intermolecular vibrational modes: 14.19 cm-1 for the in-plane CO bend and 22.68 cm-1 for the out-of-plane bend.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
