Abstract
This chapter is about chemical compounds containing both matter and antimatter, the latter in the form of positrons. Most of our knowledge of such compounds comes from quantum mechanical calculations. Our discussion includes some issues relating to calculating accurate binding energies and annihilation rates. Our current knowledge (up to January 1, 2001) of antimatter compounds is sumarized in several tables. About 50 compounds have been characterized, most of them within the past five years. A possible set of calculations and experiments for the near future is discussed.
