Jet-cooled rovibrational absorption spectra of SO2–H2O and SO2–D2O complexes have been measured in the v1 symmetric stretching region of SO2 around 1151 cm−1 using a segmented rapid-scan quantum cascade laser spectrometer. The rovibrational spectrum of SO2–D2O has also been measured in the v2 bending region of D2O around 1178 cm−1. The tunneling splittings caused by the internal rotation of the water unit could not be resolved under our experimental conditions. The observed rovibrational transitions for these two complexes are analyzed usi...
