Spectroscopic characterizations of the stereochemistry of complexes of ammonia (NH3) have strongly confirmed some long-held ideas about the weak interactions of NH3while casting doubt on others. As expected, NH3is observed to be a nearly universal proton acceptor, accepting hydrogen bonds from even some of the weakest proton donors. Surprisingly, no evidence has been found to support the view that NH3acts as a proton donor through hydrogen bonding. A critical evaluation of the work that has been done to gather such evidence, as well as of earlier work involving condensed-phase observations, suggests that NH3might well be best described as a powerful hydrogen-bond acceptor with little propensity to donate hydrogen bonds.
