The authors study the electronic structures of hydrogen polymolecules Hn (n = 2, 3, 4,...) in a superstrong magnetic field (B ⪆ 1012G) typically found on the surface of a neutron star. Simple analytical scaling relations for several limiting cases are derived. The authors numerically calculate the binding energies of Hn molecules for various magnetic-field strengths. For a given magnetic-field strength, the binding energy per atom in the Hn molecule is found to approach a constant value as n increases. They also consider the structure of negative H ions in a high magnetic field. For B ≡ 1012G the dissociation energy of an atom in a hydrogen chain and the ionization potential of H- are smaller than the ionization potential of neutral atomic hydrogen.
