✦ Synopsis

Fluorescence of several tertiary aliphatm amines has been excited in the gas phase by absorption of 206.2 nm radiation, i.e. in the band corresponding to the x -x transition of N&J. No Quorescence Ives obtained from molecules having hydrogen or deuterium bonded directly to the nitrogen atom. The experiments support the view that quantum-mechanical tunnelling is the major factor governing the rates of predissociation of the excited states of NHS, ND3, and simple amines.
