Abstract The ground state of the H 2 + molecule is studied using the equations of classical mechanics and the Einstein quantum condition, J ζ+J μ = h, where J ζ and J μ are the action integrals over a complete cycle of the elliptic coordinates. Strong bonding is found, but the quantitative results are good only for R〈0.05 and R〉4a 0. The greatest error comes at R eq and results from the coalesence of two classically allowed regions where the electron can exist.
