The nature of hydrogen bonding in condensed ammonia phases, liquid and crystalline ammonia has been a topic of much investigation. Here, we use quantum molecular dynamics simulations to investigate hydrogen bond structure and lifetimes in two ammonia phases: liquid ammonia and crystalline ammonia-I. Unlike liquid water, which has two covalently bonded hydrogen and two hydrogen bonds per oxygen atom, each nitrogen atom in liquid ammonia is found to have only one hydrogen bond at 2.24 Å. The computed lifetime of the hydrogen bond is t ≅ 0.1 ps. In contrast to crystalline water-ice, we find that hydrogen bonding is practically nonexistent in crystalline ammonia-I.
