Some metal hydrides form when a metal complex is treated with hydrogen in the presence of a base.
In view of the complexity of recycling mechanisms for metal hydrides, such high energy conversion efficiencies are beyond practical reach.
The metal hydrides were used for hydrogen storage, separation, and refrigeration.
He contributed a lot into development of heat pumps based on use of metal hydrides.
The first paper was on the catalysis of aromatic hydrogen-deuterium exchange by metal hydrides.
Most metal hydrides bind with hydrogen very strongly.
As with other brown dwarfs of spectral type L, its spectrum is dominated by metal hydrides and alkali metals.
One common way of preparing them is the reduction of dialkylhalogenoboranes with metal hydrides.
Many metal hydrides can be protonated to give dihydrogen complexes:
In general, metal hydrides are formed when hydrogen gas is allowed to react with metals.
