Molecular beams with the carrier gas argon contain prereactive complexes of halogens and interhalogens with NH 3 , H 2 O, and H 2 S, as detected by Fourier‐transform microwave spectroscopy; the structures have been elucidated. The partial structures of NH 3 , H 2 O, and H 2 S as well as F 2 , ClF (cf. picture), Cl 2 , BrCl, and Br 2 are almost the same for the complexes as for the free molecules. The weak complex bonds result from electrostatic forces.
