Finally, one expects spectroscopy to have an increasing impact not only on intramolecular but also on intermolecular dynamics. This includes a better understanding of the reactants, as in Figure 8.2, as well as the application of spectroscopy to the very collision process (Brooks, 1988 Neumark, 1992). At lower light intensities, spectroscopy acts in its usual role as a probe except that it is probing very transitory events. At higher intensities one can guide, not just monitor, the evolution of the system (Jortner, Levine and Pullman, 1991 Rabitz... 

Spectroscopic techniques have been applied most successfully to the study of individual atoms and molecules in the traditional spectroscopies. The same techniques can also be applied to investigate intermolecular interactions. Obviously, if the individual molecules of the gas are infrared inactive, induced spectra may be studied most readily, without interference from allowed spectra. While conventional spectroscopy generally emphasizes the measurement of frequency and energy levels, collision-induced spectroscopy aims mainly for the measurement of intensity and line shape to provide information on intermolecular interactions (multipole moments, range of exchange forces), intermolecular dynamics (time correlation functions), and optical bulk properties. 

The final rotational state distributions of the products in the fragmentation of a polyatomic molecule contain additional clues about the intra- and intermolecular dynamics, especially about the coupling in the exit channel. In realistic as well as model studies it has been observed that the rotational state distributions of the photodissociation products reflect the angular dependence of the wave function at the transition state and the anisotropy of the PES in the exit channel [4, 9, 10]. HO2 is no exception.

Intermolecular dynamic processes are, in general, less common for gold heteronuclear cluster compounds. An example of such behavior in solution is provided by the compounds [(Ph3PAu)(p.-H)M(CO)5] (M = Cr, Mo, W) and [(Ph3PAu)(/ti-H)W(CO)4 P(OMe3) ] (32). The 31P 1H NMR spectra of these species are sharp singlets that shift appreciably...
