The argon-PF 3 complex has been prepared in a supersonic expansion of Ar (98%) and PF 3 (2%). A Fourier-transform micro-wave spectrometer employing a Fabry-Pérot cavity was used to assign 28 rotational transitions. The rotational constants (MHz) and distortion constants (kHz) were A = 7332.468(10),...
