I generated a force field for NH4+ using R.E.D. Server Dev/PyRED at
    http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDServer-Development/

See the data for NH4+:
   
http://q4mdfft:q4mdfft2012.cluster.q4md-forcefieldtools.org/~ucpublic1/ADF1ADFZJlwJvMK_Thomas-Exner/

the force field library is at:
http://cluster.q4md-forcefieldtools.org/~ucpublic1/ADF1ADFZJlwJvMK_Thomas-Exner/NH4+/Data-R.E.D.Server/Mol_m1/Mol-sm_m1-c1.mol2

you go in 'NH4+/Data-R.E.D.Server/Data-Default-Proj'
  & you run leap:
tleap -f leaprc.q4mdfft

regards, Francois
