Abstract
The available X-ray diffraction data of liquid ammonia at 4 degrees C exhibit considerable symmetry in the intermolecular structure in spite of hydrogen bonding. The intermolecular structure is modeled well by a heptamer cluster close to that of the solid state. The model reprodu ces reasonably well the available neutron diffraction and computer sim ulation data for liquid ammonia.
