Role of Rydberg radicals in electrochemistry
A review is given of a relatively unknown area of the electronic structures of Rydberg radicals. The primary examples of such structures are H , NH4 and H30. The condens- ed phase existence of the latter 8wo has long been proposed. Mercury amalgams of organic ammonium radicals, R4N, have been reported. Theoretical studies are reported on some of these species. in liquid ammonia vis-a-vis NH4 + e . An estimate is made of the-relative stability of NH4
