Alkalides and Electride
Alkalides are compounds in which the alkali metals carry a negative charge. Examples of
alkalides include;sodide(Na-),potasside(K-),rubidide(Rb-) and caeside(Cs-). Electrides are ionised
compounds whereby the negatively charged ion has been replaced by an electron, e.g.,.
Dicalcium nitride [Ca2N]
How would you prepare them?
Electrides can be prepared by mixing an alkali metal and a complexant in an appropriate
solvent to obtain a solution of complexed cation and the solvated electron. Crystallization is the
carried out using solvent layering or slow evaporation. The first electride to be studied was
sodium ammonium electride which is prepared by dissolving sodium metal in...
