The stability and diffusion of protons and deuterons in rare gas matrices are reexamined. These are known to be stabilized in rare gas matrices in the form of linear, centrosymmetric Rg₂H⁺ cations. The elementary step in their diffusion, displacement from one Rg–Rg bond to a neighboring one, can be...
