Hydride Complexes of the Transition

Hydride Complexes of the Transition Metals , H. D. Kaesz and R. B. Saillant,... 

Hydride complexes of the transition metals occupy a central role in contemporary chemistry, both because of their importance as catalytic or stoichiometric reagents for fundamental organic transformations (e g., the catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated systems) and because of their chemical interest per se. 

Cd does not dissolve hydrogen in any significant quantities (see Hydride Complexes of the Transition Metals) CdH2 is quite unstable at room temperature, but its decomposition...

The transition metal hydrides are formed by the elements with intermediate electronegativities see Hydride Complexes of the Transition Metals, Hydrides Solid State Transition Metal Complexes). The fundamental difference between the ionic hydrides and the transition metal hydrides is clearly illustrated by their differentially corresponding absorption of hydrogen. 

Certain classical coordination complexes (see Coordination Complexes) of iron (e.g. Prussian blue) will be dealt with in other articles (see Iron Inorganic Coordination Chemistry and Cyanide Complexes of the Transition Metals), as will much of the chemistries of iron carbonyls (see Metal Carbonyls) and iron hydrides (see Hydrides) (see Carbonyl Complexes of the Transition Metals Transition Metal Carbonyls Infrared Spectra, and Hydride Complexes of the Transition Metals). The use of organoiron complexes as catalysts (see Catalysis) in organic transformations will be mentioned but will primarily be covered elsewhere (see Asymmetric Synthesis by Homogeneous Catalysis, and Organic Synthesis using Transition Metal Carbonyl Complexes).
