Ternary metal hydrides have the formula A x MH n, where A + is an alkali or alkaline earth metal cation, e.g. K + and Mg 2+. A celebrated example is K 2 ReH 9, a salt containing two K + ions and the ReH 9 2− anion. Other homoleptic metal hydrides include the anions in Mg 2 FeH 6 and Mg 2 NiH 4.
Classical transition metal hydride feature a single bond between the hydrogen centre and the transition metal. Some transition metal hydrides are acidic, e.g., HCo(CO) 4 and H 2 Fe(CO) 4. The anions potassium nonahydridorhenate [ReH 9] 2− and [FeH 6] 4− are examples from the growing collection of known molecular homoleptic metal hydrides. [16]
Binary hydrogen compounds in group 1 are the ionic hydrides (also called saline hydrides) wherein hydrogen is bound electrostatically. Because hydrogen is located somewhat centrally in an electronegative sense, it is necessary for the counterion to be exceptionally electropositive for the hydride to possibly be accurately described as truly behaving ionic.
The chemistry of Mg is dominated by the +2 oxidation state and prior to 2007 only examples of crystalline compounds with short Mg-Mg distances that may indicate an Mg-Mg bond were known, such as the ternary metal hydrides Mg 2 RuH 4, Mg 3 RuH 3, and Mg 4 IrH 5 and magnesium diboride, [3] Calculations had also indicated the stability of the Mg 2 ...
Lithium niobate is a famous ternary phase. It features three elements: Li, Nb, and O. Letting A and B represent cations and X an anion, these ternary groupings are organized by stoichiometric types A 2 BX 4, ABX 4, and ABX 3. A ternary compound of type A 2 BX 4 may be in the class of olivine, the spinel group, or phenakite.
In general, complex metal hydrides have the formula M x M' y H n, where M is an alkali metal cation or cation complex and M' is a metal or metalloid.Well known examples feature group 13 elements, especially boron and aluminium including sodium aluminium hydride, NaAlH 4), lithium aluminium hydride, LiAlH 4, and lithium borohydride, (LiBH 4).
The great variety of boranes show a huge covalent cluster chemistry, but the heavier group 13 hydrides do not. Despite their formulae, however, they tend to form polymers. Alane(aluminum trihydride) is a strong reducing agent with octahedrally coordinated aluminium atom
Such Zintl phase hydrides can be either formed by direct synthesis of the elements or element hydrides in a hydrogen atmosphere or by a hydrogenation reaction of a pristine Zintl phase. Since hydrogen has a comparable electronegativity as the post-transition metal it is incorporated as part of the polyanionic spatial structure.
