Abstract: We examine a single-file chain of ammonia molecules in a carbon nanotube. To this end, we use i) molecular dynamics simulations (combined with the charges for ammonia nitrogen and hydrogen obtained from quantum chemistry) and ii) lattice-model calculations [M.~Druchok {\it et al.}, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 158}, 104304 (2023)]. Our findings demonstrate the occurrence of the orientational quasiorder of the ammonia dipoles, which become parallel to the tube axis, at intermediate temperatures below $100$~K.
