CsH structure

Anyone knows any info on that!?

We studied that all alkaline metal hydrides have NaCl type crystal cell,
but at the same time learned that C.N. of Cs+ in hydrides seems o be 8,indicating primitive cubic shape.
If Cl- has similar radius as H- it's almost certain!

Wiki says it has NaCl type cell under normal conditions,
but no further info can be found.
