Abstract

Fresh lithium reacts with gaseous hydrogen to form surface species which are probably LiH. Li may also react with the H2 that is formed by its reaction with H2O contamination in 1-3 dioxolane solutions. The LiH, when formed, is metastable because it reacts with trace water and the solvent.
