We report the XRD and Raman scattering measurements in combination with DFT calculations that reveal the formation of beryllium polyhydride Be4H8(H2)2 by laser heating Be/H2 mixture to above 1700 K at pressures between 5 GPa and 8 GPa. The Be4H8(H2)2 crystallizes in a P6_3/mmc structure and consists of corner-sharing BeH4 tetrahedrons and H2 molecules that are in an interstitial site. The Be4H8(H2)2 is stable at least to 14 GPa on compression and stable down to 4 GPa at room temperature. Our ab-initio calculations suggest that the Be4H8(H2)2 is a meta-stable phase of Be-H system.
