KNH2-KH: a metal amide-hydride solid solution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Sep 27;52(79):11760-11763. doi: 10.1039/c6cc05777b.

Abstract

We report for the first time the formation of a metal amide-hydride solid solution. The dissolution of KH into KNH2 leads to an anionic substitution, which decreases the interaction among NH2- ions. The rotational properties of the high temperature polymorphs of KNH2 are thereby retained down to room temperature.
