The ν3 band of NH+2 in the X˜ 3B1 ground electronic state was observed in direct absorption with a tunable difference frequency laser spectrometer in the 3 μ region, using velocity modulation detection. NH+2 and NH+3 ions were generated in an ac discharge of He and NH3, or of He, N2, and H2. Fifty-three rovibrational transitions were measured and fit to a triplet A-reduced Hamiltonian to determine rotational, centrifugal distortion, and spin–rotation constants. The band origin was found to be ν0=3359.932 cm−1, in excellent agreement with a recent calculation of Jensen, Bunker, and McLean. Indirect evidence from the spectrum suggested that NH+2 is quasilinear, but selection rules prevented a determination of the A rotational constant.
