What about D3+ cation? Pauli is not working in this case--the D is integral spin in an excited state. However, Ed's chemistry would be the same . Yes. Nothing in the previous thread applies to deuterium or to Pd-D. The physics of protons is so completely different from deuterium, that it only adds a level of confusion try to merge the two fields in search of commonality. Best to completely separate them IMHO.
