A general disc ussion is given of methods used in tho analysis of NH3 vibration-rotation spectra, including the derivation of molecular constants and the determination of line stre ngt~ls an~ line widths. R es ults are given for the region 2.15 to 2.48 !' (4, 060 to 4,700 cm-I) , III 'yhICh more than 800. hnes have ?een. measured. These have been analyzed into the lllverslOll-doubled perpendICular comblllatwn band V2 + V3 (vo=4416.908 and 4434.610 cm-I ; band strength = 19.7 cm-2 atm-I) and the inversion-doubled parallel combination band VI + V2 (vo=4 293 .716 a nd 4320.060 cm-1; band strength = 2.9 cm-2 atm-I) . Complete e nergy .leve.ls for these bands have been f<:>un<;i up to J = 12 and 10, respectively, permitting determlllatwns of molec ul ar constants, which lllclude numerous hi gher-order effects involving t he interaction of rota t ion, vibration , and inversion. The line widths range from a maximum of 0.57 cm-1 atm-I, when 1(= J to a minimum of < 0.2 cm-1 at m-1, when J(<< J .
