A xenon adduct of an open‐chain organic molecule , namely, Xe–dimethyl ether (DME), was prepared under the conditions of very low pressure and temperature that exist in the plume following a supersonic expansion. The equilibrium configuration (see picture) and dissociation energy of DME–Xe were deduced from its free‐jet millimeter‐wave spectrum.
