A planar (C 2v ) or effectively planar (C s ) geometry is exhibited by the pre‐reactive intermediate H 2 O…F 2 , which has been identified in gaseous mixtures of H 2 O and F 2 . The rotational spectrum of this intermediate, which was obtained by using a Fourier‐transform microwave spectrometer equipped with a fast‐mixing nozzle, reveals that H 2 O…F 2 has an O…F distance of 2.719(4) Å and is very weakly bound.
