A combination of the Lagrangian mechanics of oscillators vibration, molecular dynamics decomposition of volume evolution, and Raman spectroscopy of phonon relaxation has enabled us to resolve the asymmetric, local, and short-range potentials pertaining to the hydrogen bond (O:H-O) in compressed ice. Results show that both oxygen atoms in the O:H-O bond shift initially outwardly with respect to the coordination origin (H), lengthening the O-O distance by 0.0136 nm from 0.2597 to 0.2733 nm by Coulomb repulsion between electron pairs on adjacent oxygen atoms. Both oxygen atoms then move toward right along the O:H-O bond by different amounts upon being compressed, approaching identical length of 0.11 nm. The van der Waals potential V-L(r) for the O:H noncovalent bond reaches a valley at -0.25 eV, and the lowest exchange V-H(r) for the H-O polar-covalent bond is valued at -3.97 eV.
