A valence-bond diatomics-in-molecules (DIM) formalism is applied to the study of proton rare-gas reactions of the type AH/sup +/+A'..-->..A +A'H/sup +/. The method is used to generate potential energy surfaces for the He/sub 2/H/sup +/ system. The DIM potential surface for this system is in good quantitative agreement with an LCAO--SCF--MO surface for the collinear arrangement, He--H--He/sup +/.
