In this paper we present Stark measurements on the G:K=−1 vibration–rotation–tunneling (VRT) transition, band origin 747.2 GHz, of the ammonia dimer. The observed splitting pattern and selection rules can be explained by considering the G36 and G144 symmetries of the inversion states involved, and almost complete mixing of these states by the applied electric field. The absolute values of the electric dipole moments of the ground and excited state are determined to be 0.763(15) and 0.365(10) D, respectively. From the theoretical analysis and the observed selection rules it is possible to establish that the dipole moments of the two interchange states must have opposite sign. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results: The calculated dipole moments are −0.74 D for the lower and +0.35 D for the higher state. Our results, in combination with the earlier dipole measurements on the G:K=0 ground state and the G:K=1 transition with band origin 486.8 GHz, confirm that the amm...
