Description
Lithium deuteride (CAS: 13587-16-1) is a deuterated inorganic compound composed of lithium cations (Li+) and deuteride anions (D−) . It is a white, hygroscopic crystalline solid that is highly reactive with water, releasing deuterium gas. As a deuterated derivative of lithium hydride, Lithium deuteride (CAS: 13587-16-1) exhibits similar chemical properties to lithium hydride but with distinct isotopic characteristics, making it suitable for specialized applications requiring deuterium incorporation.
Synonyms
Lithium deuteride, Lithium deuteride salt, Deuterated lithium hydride, Lithium (2H) hydride, Lithium deuterium hydride, Lithium deuteroxide hydride
