The kinetics of the reaction OH + NH{sub 3} have been studied by means of the flash photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence technique. The rate of this reaction was investigated in the range 273-433 K under more extensive conditions (68 < P/Torr < 504, 0.29 < (NH{sub 3})/10{sup 15} molecules cm{sup {minus}3} < 36.1) than previously. The results from experiments with the Xe lamp and with the KrF laser for photolysis agree well within the experimental uncertainties, indicating the absence of interference due to excess NH{sub 2} laser for photolysis agree well within the experimental uncertainties, indicating the absence of interference due to excess NH{sub 2} which was produced by photolysis with the Xe lamp. A fit of rate coefficients to the Arrhenius equation yields k = (3.29 {plus minus} 1.02) {times} 10{sup {minus}12} exp({minus}(922 {plus minus} 100)/T) cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}, with k = (1.47 {plus minus} 0.07) {times} 10{sup {minus}13} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1} at 297 K; the uncertainties represent one standard error.
