Beryllium borohydride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Be(BH4)2.
Structure
The crystal structure is made up of a helical polymer of BH4Be and BH4 structure units.[1]
Application
The purest beryllium hydride is obtained by the reaction of triphenylphosphine, PPh3, with beryllium borohydride, Be(BH4)2:[2]
- Be(BH4)2 + 2PPh3 → 2Ph3PBH3 + BeH2
