Abstract
The rotational spectra of the styrene-water complex has been investigated by using the pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectroscopic technique. Styrene has two π systems which can act as the proton acceptor and link with water through the OH-π hydrogen bond. Ab initio calculations suggested that the vinyl π system is favored to form such a hydrogen bond. In contrast, the experimental evidences of four isotopologues pointed out that the water O-H group prefers to link to the benzene π system. The internal rotation of water around its symmetry axis splits all the rotational transitions into two component line with a relative intensity ration of 1:3.
