Aluminum-based alloy hydride Al $_{2}$ CuH $_{x}$ (x1) is synthesized by hydrogenating Al $_{2}$ Cu alloy using high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen atmosphere. Al $_{8}$ Cu square antiprisms in Al $_{2}$ Cu twist around the c axis of a tetragonal unit cell by hydrogenation. The twist enlarges the interstitial spaces for accommodating hydrogen atoms which align linearly parallel to the c axis in Al $_{2}$ CuH $_{x}$ . Thermodynamic stability of Al $_{2}$ CuH $_{x}$ results from the balance of stabilization by H 1s and Al 3sp hybridization and destabilization owing to the Fermi-level lifting upon hydrogenation. The crystal and electronic structures of Al $_{2}$ CuH $_{x}$ illustrate the formation of an interstitial hydride of aluminum-based alloy.
