title: A pyrazolate-stabilized sodium hydride complex.
abstract: The reaction of a sterically demanding sodium pyrazolate complex with n-butylsodium and diphenylsilane afforded the first well-defined molecular sodium hydride complex [(pz)6Na7H] (pz = 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolate) that could be structurally characterised.
