It is suggested that hydrogen atoms readily from σ * bonds (three‐electron bonds) to water molecules (H · —OH 2 ). It is well established that H—hal −· adducts form with halide ions, and the species in water are thought to be comparable. Muonium atoms were also studied in frozen aqueous media. A range of data are presented and some consequences are outlined. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
