Cadmium hydride (systematically named cadmium dihydride) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (CdH
2)
n (also written as ([CdH
2])
n or CdH
2). It is an insoluble solid.
History
It was first reported by Glenn D. Barbaras in 1951 via the reaction of lithium aluminum hydride and dimethylcadmium in diethyl ether at −78 °C.[1]
Chemical properties
The compound decomposes at around 0 °C.
Molecular CdH2
Gaseous CdH2 was produced by the gas phase reaction of excited cadmium atoms with dihydrogen, H2, and the structure determined high-resolution infrared emission spectra. The molecule is linear, with a bond length of 168.3 pm.[2]
Cs3CdH5
The compound, Cs3CdH5, prepared by the reaction of caesium hydride, CsH, and cadmium metal powder at high temperature contains the CdH42– ion, along with caesium cations, Cs+, and hydride anions, H–. The tetrahedral anion is an example of an ionic complex of CdH2. The average Cd-H bond length in CdH42– is 182pm.[3]
