The measured b-type rotational structure of the strongest band at 33 692.51 cm(-1) in fluorene-(Ar)2 allows the exclusion of a (2|0) structure for this band with the two Ar atoms placed on one side of the substrate. The observation of a b-type rotational transition is proof of a specific opposite sided (1|1) structure with the two Ar atoms placed above (and below) the central five-membered ring and one remaining sign ambiguity concerning the short in-plane axis coordinate.en530Microsolvation of aromatic molecules by argon.
