Hydrogen is rarely observed as a ligand in hypervalent species, however, we find that high-pressure hydrogenation may stabilize hypervalent hydrogen-rich materials. Focusing on ternary silicon hydrides via lithium doping, we find anions composed of hypervalent silicon with H ligands formed under high pressure. Our results reveal two different hypervalent anions: layered SiH5- and tricapped triangular prismatic SiH62-. These differ from octahedral SiH62- described in earlier studies. In addition, there are further hydrogen-rich structures, Li3SiH10 and Li2SiH6+delta, which may be stabilized at high pressure. Our work provides pointers to future investigations on hydrogen-rich materials.
