IUPAC Name: beryllium hydride
CAS NO: 7787-52-2
Molecular Formula Beryllium hydride (CAS NO.7787-52-2): H2Be
Molecular Weight: 11.0281
Molecular Structure:
The purest beryllium hydride is obtained by the reaction of triphenylphosphine, PPh3, with beryllium borohydride, Be(BH4)2.
Be(BH4)2 + 2PPh3 → 2Ph3PBH3 + BeH2
BeH2 was first synthesised in 1951 by reacting dimethylberyllium, Be(CH3)2, with lithium aluminium hydride, LiAlH4.Purer BeH2 forms from the pyrolysis of di-tert-butylberyllium, Be(C(CH3)3)2 at 210 °C.
