Structure and spectroscopy of CuH prepared via borohydride reduction

We show by a combination of diffraction and spectroscopic methods that CuH produced by borohydride reduction of a CuII salt consists of a core of CuH with the Wurtzite structure and a shell of water. We also demonstrate that the shell is exchangeable for ethanol.
