Silicide hydride

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A silicide hydride is a mixed anion compound that contains silicide (Si4− or clusters) and hydride (H) anions. The hydrogen is not bound to silicon in these compounds. These can be classed as interstitial hydrides, Hydrogenated zintl phases, or Zintl phase hydrides.[1] In the related silanides, SiH3 anions or groups occur. Where hydrogen is bonded to the silicon, this is a case of anionic hydride, and where it is bonded to a more complex anion, it would be termed polyanionic hydride.[1]

Silicide hydrides may be prepared by heating a Zintl phase or metal silicide under hydrogen pressure, of perhaps 20 atmospheres.[2]
