contents Quantum and molecular mechanics based electronic energy studies of weak H-bonded ammonium dimer show distinctive feature in energy profile when computed by different QM methods contrast to MM methods. MM based MMFF and SYBYL methods show smoothly varying dihedral energy profile for torsion angle variation around weak N1-H5 held by H-bond strength of around 13 KJ/mol. All the QM based methods HF, B3LYP and MP2 show noisy and unstable torsion dependent electronic energy profile for H-bonded ammonium dimer. Exploring energy surface beyond bond length shows singularities and discontinuities. QM-based computation of dipole moment shows several discreet values with jumps and discontinuities with torsion angle variation for ammonium dimer. Also repeated computations and reverse torsion energy profile show persistent singularity feature observed in all standard QM techniques. KEY WORDS: ammonium dimer, H-bond, quantum signature, anisotropic energy singularities
