He calls them "Hydrinohydride". The smallest is for p = 24. I.e. 24 times smaller than normal H-. For greater values of p (i.e. further shrunken), the second electron is unbound, according to his formula, so there is no Hydrinohydride for larger p values. (p = 1/n) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
