Zinc hydride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Zn H₂. It is a white, odourless solid which slowly decomposes into its elements at room temperature; despite this it is the most stable of the binary first row transition metal hydrides. A variety of coordination compounds containing Zn–H bonds are used as reducing agents, but ZnH₂ itself has no common applications.
