Abstract
Ammonia, NH3 or ND3, is vaporized upon a cold substrate (20–100 K) and irradiated with electrons of energies from 0.2 to 6 keV. The different EPR spectra show hyperfinestructure and may be ascribed to centers of the type H −2 , D −2 , (NH −2 )−, (ND −2 )−. With respect to electrostatic charge a chemical decomposition of ammonia must be assumed. No electronic centers are found, which could be compared with the solvated electrons known in liquid metal-ammonia-solutions or quenched solid metal-ammonia-layers.
