The three ammonia hydrates (ammonia dihydrate, ADH; ammonia monohydrate, AMH and ammonia hemihydrate, AHH) are amongst the simplest systems to contain mixed nitrogen oxygen hydrogen bonds. In addition, ADH and AMH are believed to be common in the outer solar system, and their properties are important for modelling bodies such as Uranus, Neptune and Titan. Neutron diffraction studies have provided the first full information on structures at ambient pressure with detailed information on the H-bond geometry and state of hydrogen ordering. High-pressure studies of AMH reveal a rich and complex high-pressure phase diagram. This work reveals that ammonia hydrates are likely to provide a wide variety of geometries for the study of mixed H-bonds. It also provides new experimental information on which to base modelling of Titan.
