While the interlayer O─H─O bond geometry strongly affects the local magnetic couplings, these bonds are likely to remain symmetrical due to large zero-point fluctuations of the H positions, suggesting that the magnetic response in H_{3}LiIr_{2}O_{6} is likely sensitive to both the stoichiometry and the microstructure of the samples and emphasize the importance of a careful treatment of hydrogen for similar systems.

It is found that weakly bond dependent ferromagnetic Kitaev exchange dominates over other couplings, but still is substantially lower than in Na_{2}IrO_{3}, which is caused by the peculiar position of the interlayer species.
