Abstract
The nu3 band of NH<sup> + </sup><sub>2</sub> in the X-tilde 3B1 ground electronic state was observed in direct absorption with a tunable difference frequency laser spectrometer in the 3 µ region, using velocity modulation detection. NH<sup> + </sup><sub>2</sub> and NH<sup> + </sup><sub>3</sub> ions were generated in an ac discharge of He and NH3, or of He, N2, and H2. Fifty-three rovibrational transitions were measured and fit to a triplet A-reduced Hamiltonian to determine rotational, centrifugal distortion, and spin–rotation constants. The band origin was found to be nu0=3359.932 cm^−1, in excellent agreement with a recent calculation of Jensen, Bunker, and McLean. Indirect evidence from the spectrum suggested that NH<sup> + </sup><sub>2</sub> is quasilinear, but selection rules prevented a determination of the A rotational constant.
