✦ Synopsis

The vibron discontinuity in solid hydrogen around 150 GPa is explained as caused by a charge transfer, whereby the intra process is preferred. The ionic form of hydrogen is presented as an intermediate phase between homopolar and metallic hydrogen. As extremal case the formation of hydrogen hydride is foreseen, whereby an ionic lattice with opposite charged hydrogen ions should be realized.
