An Analysis of the Inversion of Ammonia with the Use of Intramolecular Pair Potentials.

Abstract

We employ a symmetry-adaptable Taylor series in the evaluation of matrix elements which arise in a variational treatment of the inversion doubling in ammonia. With the use of realistic pairwise N-H potential energy functions, we obtain reasonable agreement with experiment. The analysis could be improved, we suggest, by considering additional degrees of freedom. (Author)
