The infrared spectra of the H/sub 2/O, HDO, and D/sub 2/O complexes with ethylene, propene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 2-methylpropene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, benzene, and naphthalene have been recorded at temperatures from 11 to 20 K. Interaction energies have been estimated. HDO prefers to form a deuterium bond to the unsaturated molecule; however, small amounts of the hydrogen-bonded forms are present in thermal equilibrium with the deuterium-bonded forms. The energy difference between the hydrogen-bonded and deuterium-bonded forms has been estimated for most of the complexes.
