‘Non-stoichiometric’ are those hydrides in which the ratio of the metal to hydrogen is fractional. This fractional ratio is not fixed but varies with temperature and pressure. Many of the d-block elements and f-block elements (lanthanoids and actinoids) react with hydrogen at elevated temperature to give metallic or non-stoichiometric hydrides. For example LaH2.87, TiH1.8.,Zr H1.9, VH1.6 etc. Since in these hydrides, hydrogen is present in the interstices (holes or voids) existing in between the atoms, therefore these hydrides are also called interstitial hydrides.
