Abstract
Let E(R) denote the ground-state energy of a single electron and two fixed nuclei of charges zA and zB a distance R apart. Let e(R)=E(R)-zAzBR-1 be the electronic contribution. The authors prove that 'e(R) increases as R does' in two different ways: using correlation inequalities and using the theory of log concave functions. Various extensions are described.
