Infrared spectra of Rg(1,2) - C6H6 complexes (Rg = He, Ne, Ar) are observed in the region of the nu(12) fundamental of C6H6 using a pulsed supersonic jet expansion and a tunable optical parametric oscillator laser source. The mixed timer He - Ne - C6H6 is also detected. Four bands are analyzed for each complex, namely nu(12) itself (approximate to 3048 cm(-1)) and three linked combination bands (approximate to 3079, 3100, and 3102 cm(-1)). The results are consistent with previous ultraviolet and microwave results, with Ne-2 - C6H6 and He - Ne - C6H6 being analyzed spectro-scopically here for the first time.
