Rotationally resolved spectra of h2- and d1-formic acid embedded in liquid helium droplets have been recorded in the spectral region of the O-H (ν1) and C-H (ν2) stretch vibrations. Fermi-resonance between the ν1-band of h2-formic acid and the combination bands ν2 +ν7 and ν2 +ν9 has been observed. This is the first time that Fermi-resonance has been observed in superfluid helium cluster. These results yield direct information on vibrational relaxation dynamics of Fermi disturbed systems inside a helium matrix. Additionally two open structures of formic acid dimer has been found. Recent results will be presented on this poster.
