General description
Atomic number of base material: 20
The crystal structure of calcium hydride is a slightly distorted hexagonal close packing. At elevated temperatures, calcium hydride acts as a strong reducing agent.1 Solid state reaction between hexachlorobenzene and calcium hydride has been studied in detail.

Application
Calcium hydride (CaH2) is a metal hydride that can be used for a variety of greener applications such as:
- fabrication of hydrogen storage systems for fuel cell applications
- synthesis of porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) for adsorption of organic pollutants
- formation of high temperature superconductors
Calcium hydride is widely used as a drying agent for organic solvents.1 It has been used to dry ε-caprolactone,benzene and toluene.
