Magnesium hydride, of potential use for reversible storage of hydrogen , has now been synthesized by a method proceeding under mild conditions and which can be performed on a large scale. Especially active catalysts are obtained by reaction of anthracenemagnesium with halides of chromium, titanium, or iron in THF. These solutions are catalytically active at 20°C and under normal pressure.
