Sodium hydride as a powerful reducing agent for topotactic oxide deintercalation: Synthesis and characterization of the nickel(I) oxide LaNiO2

The capability of sodium hydride as a reducing agent in oxide deintercalation reactions is explored. The Ni(III) perovskite LaNiO3 can be reduced topotactically to LaNiO2, isostructural with the 'infinite layer' cuprates, using solid sodium hydride in a sealed evacuated tube at 190 ≤ T/°C...
