SYNTHESIS OF LMH-2
Abstract
Preparation of chloroberyllium hydride (CBH) from beryllium chloride- etherate and sodium hydride was achieved in conversions up to 95.3% based on initial beryllium chloride. Disproportionation of the CBH intermediate was demonstrated to give beryllium hydride in purities up to 85.1 wt.% BeH2. The product was amorphous with residual Be-Cl bonds, retained ether, and Be-O bonds as the major contaminants. The atomic ratio of active hydride to residual chloride (H(-)/Cl(-)) in some samples of the final product reached up to 137/1 corresponding to an impurity of 5.0 wt.% BeCl2.
