Anion photoelectron spectra, photodetachment spectra, and IR-dissocn. spectra of the weakly bound chloride-benzene complex were measured. An upper limit of its stabilization energy of 0.35 eV was found, in disagreement with a former exptl. value of 0.41 eV and in agreement with a theor. value of 0.34 eV [C.D. Thompson, B.L.J. Poad, C. Emmeluth, E. Bieske, Chem. Phys. Lett. 428(2006) 18]. The adiabatic detachment energy leads to a stabilization energy of 0.26 ± 0.02 eV. The absence of the linear isomeric structure in the supersonic beam and vibrational assignments of former IR spectra [C.D. Thompson, B.L.J. Poad, C. Emmeluth, E. Bieske, Chem. Phys. Lett. 428(2006) 18] could be confirmed. New spectroscopic features supply information about the intermol. stretching mode between chloride and benzene with a frequency of 130 ± 10 cm-1.
