Highly polar bonds and the meaning of covalency and ionicity--structure and bonding of alkali metal hydride oligomers

Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

The hydrogen-alkali metal bond is simple and archetypal, and thus an ideal model for studying the nature of highly polar element-metal bonds. Thus, we have theoretically explored the alkali metal hydride monomers, HM, and (distorted) cubic tetramers, (HM)
