A calculation of band structures, densities of states, and Fermi surfaces for 3d‐element hybrides is made. The results of this calculation are compared with the APW calculation by Switendick and the experimental measured values of electronic specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, and optical absorptivity. By using the Gaspari‐Gyorffy theory values of the electron‐phonon coupling constant and T c are calculated. High critical temperatures of superconductivity are predicted for chromium and nickel dihydrides.
