- This is the updated version of the $F5_{4}$ structure, including the positions of the hydrogen atoms.
- The data for this structure was taken at 150K.
- This should not be confused with ammonium chlorate, NH$_{4}$ClO$_{3}$, which takes on the $\gamma$–KNO$_{3}$ structure, or NH$_{4}$ClO$_{4}$, which has the $H0_{5}$ structure.
