Are the materials discussed in this article compounds? People who work in this area refer to these as van der Waals complexes, at least to my recollection. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:05, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Is there a better name than compounds? "Chemicals" is even less correct. But perhaps you could use the term "chemistry".Most of the excimers have something like a conventional covalent bond, however these are all very short lived. Quite a few of the ions with hydrogen have what is like a hydrogen bond. They are certainly not like conventional solid compounds, but are in a broader definition of compound, a combination of argon with something else. They could be called molecules or molecular ions. Our experience of chemistry is influenced strongly by the standard conditions that we normally experience, 25° 1 atm. However these molecular substances exist at low temperatures, low pressures, or conditions far from equilibrium, eg driven by a laser. There would also be argon containing solids substances at high pressure. But they are not included here yet. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:04, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
