[edit] "Chemical compounds that formally contain a hydrogen anion are called hydrides" may not be 100% correct: the term refers to many anions (and in principle, cations)
This is a really nice article, but I am skeptical about the desirability for this separate article separate from hydride. HFe(CO)4- is a metal hydride, for sure, and it is not a chemical compound. Or stated more broadly and slightly sarcastically: does every anion that enjoys an existence independent of a charge balancing cation merit two pages - one of the cmpd and one for the anion? In the interstellar medium or in mass spectrometers or whereever, lots of naked anions have been discovered. So AlH4- in THF solution should have a separate page from the salt? Also it is sad taht a reader of hydride must click to this page to get the real picture. Thanks--Smokefoot 12:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
