Doubly-resonant excitation/vibrational autoionization is used to accurately determine the ionization potential (IF) of the highly symmetric caged amine 1,4 diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO). The IP of DABCO excited with one quantum of the nu(24)(e’) vibration lies at (59 048.62+/-0.03) cm(-1), based on fitting 56 components of the np(xy) Rydberg series (delta=0.406+/-0.002) to the Rydberg formula. Rydberg state transition energies and linewidths are determined using standard calibration and linefitting techniques. The IP determined from Rydberg state extrapolation is compared with that determined by mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI). Effects of static electric fields on MATI signals measured for the high Rydberg states are discussed.
