Abstract
Photoabsorption spectra of free LinH clusters have been recorded for n=2 to 9. Clusters are produced by coexpansion of 10–100 mbars of lithium vapor and 2–4 bars of a 98 % / 2 % mixture of argon with hydrogen. Two photon ionization was used to study the X ← B system of Li2H while beam depletion spectroscopy was used to measure the absorption cross sections of larger clusters. Most observations may be interpreted by the localization of one electron on the hydrogen bonding in agreement with ionization potential measurements.
