The hydrated clusters of tetrahydroisoquinoline have been investigated by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), UV–UV hole burning, and IR–UV double-resonance spectroscopy in a seeded supersonic jet. Clusters of different sizes and isomeric structures have different 0–0 transitions (origins) in the LIF spectrum. UV–UV hole burning spectroscopy has been used to identify different cluster species and their vibrational modes. The structures of the clusters have been predicted by comparing the observed OH and NH frequencies in the IR–UV double-resonance spectra with the results calculated at different levels of sophistication. It is found that the water molecules form linear and six- and eight-membered cyclic H-bonded structures at the nitrogen center of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 clusters, respectively. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.
