Electrides. Compounds for tomorrow’s world Authors Verònica Postils Institut d'Estudis Catalans Keywords: Electrides, molecular electrides, topological characterization of electron density, ammonia synthesis. Abstract Crystal-structure electrides and molecular electrides are ionic compounds where the anionic part is constituted by independent and isolated electrons. This paper summarizes the history of these compounds, from their postulation to the state of the art. The most important events that have prompted the progress in the research of these compounds are also reviewed. The molecular electrides’ characterization and their existence have been studied in our group at the University of Girona.Keywords: Electrides, molecular electrides, topological characterization of electron density, ammonia synthesis.
