In the early universe, following the nucleosynthesis, conditions were rightfor recombination processes to take place yielding neutral atoms H, He and Li.The understanding so far in astrophysics is that the first molecule to beformed was HeH+ by radiative association (He + H+ -> HeH+ + h(nu) and He+ + H-> HeH+ + h(nu). The recent report by Guesten et al (Nature, 568, 357, 2019) ofdetection of HeH+ in planetary Nebula NGC 7027 confirms its presence, but itdoes not conclusively prove the origin of this species. To create moleculesfrom free moving quasi-ions surrounded by an electronic cloud, theBorn-Oppenheimer-Huang (BOH) theory furnishes two kinds of forces, namely, onethat results from the Potential Energy Surfaces (PESs) and the other fromNon-Adiabatic Coupling Terms (NACTs). Whereas the PESs are known to manage slowmoving quasi-ions the NACTs, with their, frequently, infinitely large values atthe vicinity of the singularities can control the fast moving quasi-ions. Toachieve that the BOH equation indicates that the NACTs are affecting the fastmoving quasi-ions directly and if they are attributed with dissipative featuresor in other words to behave as a Friction Force they indeed could serve (likeany other ordinary friction) as moderators for the fast atomic(ionic) species.It is proposed in the present paper that the triatomic HeH2+ was the precursorto HeH+ and it could have been formed by the (He, H, H)+ nuclei coming togetherunder the electron cloud, facilitated by the NACTs between different electronicstates acting as an astronomical friction force. This is possible because ofthe singularities in the NACTs for triatomic systems and NOT for diatomicsystems. Although the existence of HeH2+ was established in the laboratory in1996, it has not been detected in the interstellar media so far. But, there isno reason why it cannot be detected in near future.
