A much denser state exists for deuterium, named D(-1). It is called ultra-dense deuterium. This is the inverse of D(1), and the bond distance is very small, equal to 2.3 pm (0.023 angstroms). Its density is extremely large, >130 kg / cm3 (130,000 times as dense as water), if it can exist as a dense phase. Due to the short bond distance, D-D fusion is expected to take place easily in this material.
This material is probably an inverted metal with the deuterons moving in the field from the stationary electrons. This reduces the size of the atom because the heavy nucleus orbits the light electron. This gives a predicted interatomic distance of 2.5 pm, close to the measured value. Experiments show that an ultra-dense deuterium material exists. I have not heard of inverted hydrogen H(-1), but if it existed a lot of it could fix inside a lattice defect. I wonder if this H(-1) nuclear configuration would reverse the catalytic charge considerations.
