Spectroscopy of ammonia in the range 6626–6805 cm −1 : using temperature dependence towards a complete list of lower state energy transitions

Such a procedure has been applied to transitions of 14 NH 3 ammonia in the range 6626–6805 cm −1 between 130 and 300 K. This information is of great interest in the considerable task of the assignment of the complete 1.5 μm infrared spectral range where combination and overtone vibrational bands are present. 2451 transitions have been observed at different temperatures.

For 2133 the line strength and for 1956 transitions the values of lower state energies were derived. Our work was compared with recent Fourier transform study covering a larger energy range (6300–7000 cm −1 ) with smaller temperature range (185–296 K)
