The structural preferences within a series of dibenzofuran–solvent complexes has been investigated by electronic, vibrational and rotational spectroscopic methods within supersonic jet experiments. The experimental study is accompanied with a detailed theoretical analysis including dispersion corrected density functional theory, symmetry adapted perturbation theory as well as coupled cluster approaches. The complementary, multi-spectroscopic results of microwave, FTIR and – as presented here – by combined IR/UV spectroscopy reveal a preferred OH⋯O structure for dibenzofuran–water as the smallest complex, whereas for the methanol complex two coexisting OH⋯O and OH⋯π isomers are revealed. Furthermore, for dibenzofuran–tert-butanol as the largest complex within this study, only a π-bound structure is observed. A general trend regarding the binding preference is deduced, which is driven by London dispersion interactions.
