  19. Abstract.org Abstract Electronic spectra of ammoniated ammonium radicals, NH4(NH3)n,produced through the photolysis of ammonia clusters, are investigated with a laser photodepletion spectroscopy.Vibrationaly resolved bands beginning at energy of 9305 ± 15 cm-1 are successfully assigned to NH4NH3. These bands are ascribed to the 2 2A —1 2A transition derived from the 3p2F2-3s2A1 excitation of NH4. A second group of bands beginning at energy 10073 ± 15 cm-1 is assigned to the 12E -12A transition. Electronic spectra of a series of NH4(NH3)n(n = 1 - 8) are also recorded with low resolution in the energy region of 4500 - 16000 cm-1. A drastic decrease of the excitation energy from 15062 cm-1 for NH4 to 5800 cm-1 for NH4(NH3)4 is observed, while no appreciable spectral change is found for n  5. The large spectral change is ascribed to the spontaneous ionization of NH4 in ammonia clusters. Successive binding energies of NH4(NH3)nin the excited state are determined from the spectral band positions.
