Mid-infrared vibrational spectra of He–HN+2 and He2–HN+2 have been recorded by monitoring their photofragmentation in a tandem mass spectrometer. For He–HN+2 three rotationally resolved bands are seen: the fundamental ν1 transition (N–H stretch) at 3158.419±0.009 cm−1, the ν1+νb combination band (N–H stretch plus intermolecular bend) at 3254.671±0.050 cm−1, and the ν1+νs combination band (N–H stretch plus intermolecular stretch) at 3321.466±0.050 cm−1. The spectroscopic data facilitate the development of approximate one-dimensional radial intermolecular potentials relevant to the collinear bonding of He to HN+2 in its (000) and (100) vibrational states. These consist of a short range potential derived from an RKR inversion of the spectroscopic data, together with a long range polarization potential generated by considering the interaction between the He atom and a set of multipoles distributed on the HN+2 nuclei. The following estimates for binding energies are obtained: D0″=378 cm−1 [He+HN+2(000)], and D0′=431 cm−1 [He+HN+2(100)]. While the ν1 band of He2–HN+2 is not rotationally resolved, the fact that it is barely shifted from the corresponding band of He–HN+2 suggests that the trimer possesses a structure in which one of the He atoms occupies a linear proton-bound position forming a He–HN+2 core, to which a second less strongly bound He is attached.
