Accurate dissociation energies were determined for gas-phase complexes between 1-naphthol and benzene, d₆-benzene and cyclohexane, using the stimulated emission pumping resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy technique in supersonic jets. The dissociation energies obtained for the electronic ground state are surprisingly large being D₀ = 5.07±0.07 kcal/mol for 1-naphthol · benzene, 5.08±0.06 kcal/mol for 1-naphthol · d₆-benzene, and 6.92±0.03 kcal/mol for 1-naphthol · cyclohexane, respectively. The dissociation energies scale well with the parallel molecular polarizabilities.
