The Lutetium metals readily react with hydrogen to form LuH2, and, by raising the hydrogen pressure, the trivalent Lu metals also form the LuH3 phase. Both the LuH2 and LuH3 phases are nonstoichiometric (that is, the numbers of atoms of the elements present cannot be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers). Applications: Most rare earth hydrides including Lutetium (III) Hydride (LuH3) are widely studied for its Magnetic and spectroscopic properties. Molecular Formula: LuH3 Alfa Chemistry Materials product group: Metal Manufacturer data sheet |
