Unveiling distinct bonding patterns in noble gas hydrides via interference energy analysis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: SCGVB calculations show that in noble gas hydride ions NgH + (Ng = He–Ar), energy well formation is driven by quantum interference. At equilibrium bond lengths, HeH + and ArH + exhibit covalent Ng + –H bonds, while NeH + possesses a dative Ne → H + bond.
