Formation and Structural Properties of Non-Stoichiometric Molybdenum Hydride

DOI

There is significant renewed interest in the super-conductivity of hydrogen-rich materials ever since the reported superconductivity of H2S at 203 K . As a result there is widespread effort to find other hydrides which may possess similar physical properties. One area of research is that of the transition metal hydrides. Such hydrides are formed using pressurised hydrogen gas which increases its chemical potential (with more energy for chemical reactions to occur more readily). Such experiments are often performed in diamond anvil cell (DAC) devices, for which the sample volumes are typically less than 0.02 mm3. In this experiment we aim to perform such a synthesis with a volume which is more realistic for large scale production on a newly discovered hydride based on the molybdenum metal. In so ding will provide valuable information on the nature of bonding within these materials.
