9.52. Many transition and inner-transition metals absorb hydrogen into the interstices of their lattices to yield metal like hydrides also called the interstitial hydrides. These hydrides are generally non stoichiometric and their composition vary with temperature and pressure.
For example, TiH1.73, CeH2.7Two uses of interstitial hydrides are:
(i) In the storage of H2.
(ii) Catalyst for hydrogenation reaction.
