Abstract
Ab initio spin-coupled calculations have been carried out on MH and MH+ species to investigate the electronic structure of systems containing transition metal atoms in low oxidation states; results are presented for VH, where the bonding can be understood in terms of the overlap between a ‘bonding hybrid’ on vanadium and a distorted 1s function on hydrogen.
