Hi Conor,
The hydrogen atoms in ice phases (Ih and Ic) are disordered so even if you find
the cif files, the hydrogen atoms with be given in positions between all O atoms
with 0.5 occupancy. If you want one explicit orientation of the water hydrogen
molecules in the Ih phase (among the virtually infinite possibilities), for the
sake of simulations, you can see the paper by Hayward and Reimers:
Unit cells for the simulation of hexagonal ice
J. A. Hayward1 and J. R. Reimers1
J. Chem. Phys. 106, 1518 (1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473300
Their criteria for choosing the particular H orientations are described in
detail in this paper.
I am not aware of a similar paper for the Ic phase.
cheers,
Saman

Could anyone please tell me where I could find the the structure of cubic ice
(ice Ic) as a .cif file?
I have been searching the cambridge structural database using "H2O",
"water", "dihyrogen oxide"
and "ice" as search key words, but cannot find anything! I tried to
ICSD, but the .cif files there
dont seem to contain the hydrogens, which I am in need of.
