Identification of a Simplest Hypervalent Hydrogen Fluoride Anion in Solid Argon

Abstract Hypervalent molecules are one of the exceptions to the octet rule. Bonding in most hypervalent molecules is well rationalized by the Rundle–Pimentel model (three-center four-electron bond), and high ionic bonding between the ligands and the central atom is essential for stabilizing hyperval...
