Dependences of the band maximum and band half-width of the stretching modes of surface OH and OD groups perturbed by ammonia adsorption on Aerosil were studied as functions of sample temperature, amount of adsorbed ammonia, and thermal treatment in vacuum. The appearance of a low-frequency wing was explained by the formation of polymer chains of OH groups coupled via adsorbed molecules. The latter tend to form a second bond with an oxygen atom of the neighboring OH group in addition to a hydrogen bond with a hydroxyl proton via nitrogen. The wide band at 3250 cm^-1 was assigned to NH groups of adsorbed molecules perturbed by H-bonding with oxygen. This band is observed as a shoulder of the coupled-OH group band. The large width of the latter as well as its temperature behavior was explained by differences in the arrangement of OH groups and by anharmonic coupling with the low-frequency vibrational modes of the complex.
