Abstract

Microwave-ultraviolet double resonance experiments on the pre-dissociative first excited electronic state of ammonia are presented. Using microwave-ultraviolet double resonance, we are sensitive to only a few rotational transitions at a time. Thus, we have been able to determine the rotational constants and the rotational dependence of the dissociation rate for $\nu_{2}-0-4$. We have found that Fermi resonance is needed to explain the vibrational state dependence of the dissociation rate.
