"Rydberg atoms — atoms with a highly excited electron — can form unusual types of molecular bonds. 

These bonds differ from the well-known ionic and covalent bonds not only by their binding mechanisms, but also by their bond lengths ranging up to several micrometers. Using ion microscope, physicists at the Universität Stuttgart have observed a new type of molecular bond between an ion and a Rydberg atom.

The molecule observed exhibits a special feature: it consists of a positive electrically charged ion and a neutral atom in a so-called Rydberg state. As the charge of the ion deforms the Rydberg atom in a very specific way, the bond between the two particles emerges. The distance between the binding partners is unusually large and amounts to about the tenth of the thickness of a human hair." SciNews
