A study of the vibrational fundamentals of N{sub 2}H{sub 4} and all nine f its deuterated derivatives has been conducted using a combination of ab inito calculations with FT-IR matrix-isolation (N{sub 2}, Ar) methods. The ab inito calculations, made using the 3-21G and 6-31G** bases with the Gaussian 82 program, were instrumental in establishing the experimental assignments. The concentration dependences of N{sub 2}H{sub 4}/Ar and N{sub 2}H{sub 4}/N{sub 2} spectra assisted in resolving much of the uncertainty in previous matrix and vapor-phase vibrational assignments for N{sub 2}H{sub 4}. The ratio of natural abundances of N{sub 2}H{sub 3}D{sub 0} to N{sub 2}H{sub 3}D{sub i} (i.e., the ratio of outer to inner deuterium-substituted species) has been found to be approximately 19:10.
