Well known examples feature group 13 elements, especially boron and aluminium including sodium aluminium hydride, NaAlH4 (also known as sodium alanate), lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH4, and lithium borohydride, (LiBH4). Complex metal hydrides are often soluble in etherial solvents. Other complex metal hydrides are numerous. Illustrative examples include the salts 4FeH6 and K2ReH9.
