One interesting and unique characteristic of these hydrides are that they can be nonstoichiometric, meaning basically that the fraction of H atoms to the metals are not fixed. Nonstoichiometric compounds have a variable composition. The idea and basis for this is that with metal and hydrogen bonding there is a crystal lattice that H atoms can and may fill in between the lattice.

Due to the hydrogen bonds of the three following hydrides, they distinctly have high boiling points instead of the initial assumption of having the lowest boiling points.
