Actinium hydride, AcH2, is a purported binary compound of hydrogen and actinium. It was prepared as a second cubic phase during the preparation of actinium metal by the reduction of actinium chloride with potassium vapour at 350 °C: the origin of the hydrogen was not explained.[1] Nevertheless, the compound was claimed on the basis of its isostructurality with known lanthanum hydride LaH2, which was formed in a parallel experiment.[1]
Notes and references
Notes
- ↑ The molar mass is based on actinium-227 (t½ = 21.772(3) a; Ar = 227.027 7521(26)),[2] the most commonly encountered isotope of actinium and the one used in the original studies.[3][4]
