	abstract = {We study the environmental effect on molecules embedded in noble-gas (Ng) matrices. The experimental data on HXeCl and HKrCl in Ng matrices is enriched. As a result, the H-Xe stretching bands of HXeCl are now known in four Ng matrices (Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe), and HKrCl is now known in Ar and Kr matrices. The order of the H-Xe stretching frequencies of HXeCl in different matrices is nu(Ne) < nu(Xe) < nu(Kr) < nu(Ar), which is a non-monotonous function of the dielectric constant, in contrast to the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}classical{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} order observed for HCl: nu(Xe) < nu(Kr) < nu(Ar) < nu(Ne). The order of the H-Kr stretching frequencies of HKrCl is consistently nu(Kr) < nu(Ar). These matrix effects are analyzed theoretically by using a number of quantum chemical methods. The calculations on these molecules (HCl, HXeCl, and HKrCl) embedded in single Ng{\textquoteright} layer cages lead to very satisfactory results with respect to the relative matrix shifts in the case of the MP4(SDQ) method whereas the B3LYP-D and MP2 methods fail to fully reproduce these experimental results. The obtained order of frequencies is discussed in terms of the size available for the Ng hydrides in the cages, probably leading to different stresses on the embedded molecule. Taking into account vibrational anharmonicity produces a good agreement of the MP4(SDQ) frequencies of HCl and HXeCl with the experimental values in different matrices. This work also highlights a number of open questions in the field. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.},
