After a quick literature search, I'm left with the impression that ''helium hydride ion'' and ''helium hydride molecular ion'' are used much more often than ''hydrohelium ion''. (Actually, the most common is ''HeH<sup>+</sup>'', but I'd rather use words.) Should we rename the article?

:Just thinking aloud, "hydride" suggests a H<sup>-</sup> in there, which seems a bit strange. Is that what people really call it? --[[User:Rifleman 82|Rifleman 82]] ([[User talk:Rifleman 82|talk]]) 09:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hiby, Julius W. (1939). "Massenspektrographische Untersuchungen an Wasserstoff- und Heliumkanalstrahlen (H3+, H2-, HeH+, HeD+, He-)". Annalen der Physik. 426 (5): 473–487. doi:10.1002/andp.19394260506. First 1986? --Stone (talk) 18:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even earlier: Coulson, C. A.; Duncanson, W. E. (1938). "Comparison of Wave-Functions for HeH++ and HeH+". Proc. Roy. Soc. A. 165: 90. doi:10.1098/rspa.1938.0047.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link). Apparently "first studied by Wolfgang Ketterle in 1986" refers to the first spectroscopic studies of the neutral helium hydride. I found these two papers by Ketterle: W. Ketterle, H. Figger, and H. Walther (1985). "Emission spectra of bound helium hydride". Phys. Rev. Lett. 55: 2941–2944. doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.55.2941.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link); W Ketterle, A Dodhy, H Walther (1986).

Just thinking aloud, "hydride" suggests a H- in there, which seems a bit strange. Is that what people really call it? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 09:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
