Abstract: The alkali metals have long been regarded as ‘simple metals’ because of their simple lattice structures under ordinary conditions. New calculations predict that under pressure lithium will have a paired, molecular-like structure, similar to hydrogen, that may even be insulating. This unexpected finding may lead to a revised understanding of these simple metals.
