The binary metal silicides CaSi, BaSi, SrSi, and EuSi that crystallize in the CrB type absorb reversibly hydrogen. Hydrogen contents of the products were measured by the carrier gas hot extraction method (CaSiHx: 1.56 wt %,x≈︁ 1.06; SrSiHx: 1.35 wt %,x≈︁ 1.6; BaSiHx: 2.08 wt %,x≈︁ 3.4; EuSiHx: 0.99 wt %,x≈︁ 1.8). According to simultaneous thermogravimetric, DTA and mass‐spectroscopic analyses, the dehydrogenation for the different hydrides starts at 610 K for BaSiHx, at 675 K for CaSiHxand SrSiHx, and at 640 K for EuSiHx. BaSiHxreleases further hydrogen at 765 K and 1000 K, respectively, CaSiHxat 760 K. Fundamental morphological and structural changes caused by the hydrogenation of the silicides were detected and comprehensively characterized by SEM and X‐ray diffraction. According to XRD results, the crystal structures of the phasesMSiHx(M= Ca, Ba, Sr, Eu) are all orthorhombic (space groupPnma). The lattice parameters change froma= 4.559(1) Å,b= 10.731(1) Å,c= 3.890(1) Å (space groupCmcm,Z= 1) in CaSi toa= 14.4884(9) Å,b= 3.8247(1) Å,c= 11.2509(5) Å (Z= 3) in CaSiHxcaused by the hydrogen uptake that induces the formation of a threefold superstructure along theaaxis. In CaSiHx, the planes of the [Sin]2–zigzag chains are tilted and inter‐chain Si–Si contacts are formed formally corresponding to an oxidation to Si–. The hydrogen desorption process was investigated by in situ X‐ray diffraction studies which revealed the presence of two different hydrogen species in CaSiHx. The new phase SrSiHxcrystallizes in a related structure comprising tilted [Sin]2–chains (a= 15.1051(5) Å,b= 3.95400(8) Å,c= 12.3431(3) Å, space groupPnma). The lattice parameters of BaSiHxarea= 15.7(2) Å,b= 4.13(3) Å,c= 13.43(8); that of EuSiHxa= 15.17 Å,b= 3.95 Å,c= 11.56 Å (Z= 3).
