Protactinium trihydride

Chemical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protactinium trihydride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PaH3. It is isostructural with uranium trihydride and can be prepared by reacting protactinium and hydrogen at 250°C and 600 mmHg.[1] Theoretical calculations show that it can form further compounds PaHn (n = 4, 5, 8, 9) under high pressure.[2] Protactinium trihydride is sensitive to moist air and oxygen.
