The frequency-domain infrared spectrum of ammonia encodes changes in molecular dynamics caused by a DC electric field
Ammonia is special. It is nonplanar, yet in v = 1 of the umbrella mode (ν2) its inversion motion is faster than J = 0↔1 rotation. Does the simplicity of the Chemist’s concept of an electric dipole moment survive the competition between rotation, inversion, and a strong external electric field? NH3 i...
