Copper hydride

Copper hydride (also systematically named poly[cuprane(1)]) is a pyrophoric, inorganic compound with the chemical formula (CuH)n (also written as [CuH]n or CuH). It is an odourless, metastable, red solid, rarely isolated as a pure composition, that decomposes to the elements. Copper hydride is mainly produced as a reducing agent in organic synthesis and as a precursor to extremely reactive catalysts.
