Europium hydride is the most common hydride of europium with a chemical formula EuH₂. In this compound, europium atom is in the 2 oxidation state and the hydrogen atoms are -1.^[4] It is a ferromagnetic semiconductor.^[5]

Production

Europium hydride can be produced by directly reacting europium and hydrogen gas:^[4]

Eu H₂ → EuH₂

Uses

EuH₂ can be used as a source of Eu² to create metal-organic frameworks that have the Eu² ion.^[2]
