Abstract
Microwave and radio frequency spectra for NH3⋅H2O and deuterated analogs have been observed by molecular beam electric resonance spectroscopy. Rotational constant, Stark effect, and nitrogen quadrupole coupling interaction data were obtained. This complex is found to have a linear, hydrogen bonded structure with water as the proton donor. The NH3 monomer symmetry axis was found to have a vibrationally averaged displacement of 23.1° from the N...O axis. No evidence for transfer of a proton from water to the ammonia was observed.Keywords
