The IR spectra of complexes of water with nitrogen molecules in the range of the symmetric (ν1) and antisymmetric (ν3) bands of H2O have been studied in helium droplets. The infrared intensities of the ν3 and ν1 modes of H2O were found to be larger by factors of 1.3 and 2, respectively, in the N2−H2O complexes. These factors are smaller than those obtained in recent theoretical calculations. The conformation of the N2−H2O complex was estimated. Spectra and IR intensities of the (N2)2−H2O and N2−(H2O)2 complexes were also obtained and their structures are discussed.
