Beryllium borohydride is a chemical compound of beryllium from the group of borohydrides .
Extraction and presentation
Beryllium borohydride can be obtained by reacting beryllium chloride with lithium borohydride . The compound was first synthesized in 1940 by Burg and Schlesinger. It can also be obtained by reacting diborane with dimethylberyllium .
properties
Beryllium borohydride is a solid that reacts violently with water. It sublimes at 91.3 ° C and decomposes at temperatures above 123 ° C. It has a tetragonal crystal structure with the space group I 4 1 cd (space group no. 110) . The polymer structure consists of BH 4 Be and BH 4 units.
use
The etherate complex of beryllium borohydride (Be [BH 4 ] 2 · (C 2 H 5 ) 2 O) can be used for the production of beryllium hydride .
