Dihydridoberyllium is a related compound with the chemical formula BeH
₂ (also written [BeH
₂]).
It is a gas that cannot persist undiluted.
Unsolvated dihydridoberyllium will spontaneously autopolymerise to oligomers.
Free molecular BeH₂ produced by electrical discharge at high temperature has been confirmed as linear with a Be-H bond length of 133.376 pm.
Its hybridisation is sp.
