Lithium Hydride (LiH) (CAS: 7580-67-8), characteristic of a salt-like, or ionic, hydride, it has a high melting point and is not soluble but reactive with all organic and protic solvents; it is soluble and non-reactive with certain molten salts such as lithium fluoride, lithium borohydride, and sodium hydride. With a molecular mass of slightly less than 8, it is the lightest ionic compound. It is stable in dry air. It hydrolyzes or combusts in the damp air. Soluble in diethyl and THF.
Lithium Hydride is used in the manufactureof lithium aluminum hydride and silane, as apowerful reducing agent, as a condensationagent in organic synthesis, as a portablesource of hydrogen, and as a lightweight nuclear shielding material. It is now beingused for storing thermal energy for spacepower system.
Used as desiccant, hydrogen generator and organic synthesis reducing agent.
Lithium Hydride is used as reducing agent battery materials, catalyst for polymerization, deoxy chemicals for making steel and cooper alloys and fuel for jet engine. It is also used in war industry and artificially drugs.
Lithium Hydride is a typical ionic hydride with lithium cations and hydride anions. Electrolysis of molten material results in formation of lithium metal at the cathode and hydrogen at the anode. The lithium hydride-water reaction, which results in the release of hydrogen gas, is also indicative of a negatively charged hydrogen.
The product should be handled under an inert atmosphere to avoid contamination and a fire. Powdered lithium hydride burns readily when exposed to the air. However, large pieces of the material are less flammable. Lithium hydride, like other strong bases, is harmful to the skin and should be handled with caution.
A Strong reducing agent. Incompatible with oxidizers, halogenated hydrocarbons; acids can cause fire and explosion. Reacts with water, forming caustic lithium hydroxide and flammable hydrogen gas; reaction may cause ignition. May ignite spontaneously in moist air and may reignite after fire is extinguished. Dangerous when wet. Reacts with water to form hydrogen and lithium hydroxide. Powdered form and liquid oxygen form an explosive compound. Decomposes exothermically on contact with acids and upon heating to about 500C, producing flammable hydrogen gas. Reacts with carboxylic acids, lower alcohols; chlorine, and ammonia (at 400C), forming explosive hydrogen gas.
