[en] Highlights: • LIF spectra of p-fluorophenol-methanol 1:1 complex are measured for the first time. • The spectra are largely different compared to that of p-fluorophenol-H₂O complex. • Bands for five intermolecular vibrations appear in excitation and emission spectra. • Fermi resonance splits the intermolecular stretching band in the excitation spectrum. • Emission spectra show very low threshold for S₁ state vibrational energy relaxation. Low-frequency intermolecular vibrations in S₀ and S₁ states of p-fluorophenol (pFP) methanol binary complex have been studied using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in a supersonic jet expansion. Vibrational fundamentals of five such modes show up in fluorescence excitation (FE) spectrum, and corresponding ground state frequencies are obtained measuring disperse fluorescence (DF) spectra. Signatures of strong coupling between the hydrogen bond stretching fundamental (σ₀¹) and a ring mode of pFP moiety in S₁ state are revealed. In comparison with the analogous pFP-water complex, the present system displays very low threshold (∼170 cm⁻¹) for vibrational energy relaxation in S₁ state.
