	abstract = {<p>Hydrogenation-induced metal-semiconductor transitions usually occur in simple systems based on rare earths and/or magnesium, accompanied by major reconstructions of the metal host (atom shifts \&gt;2 Angstrom). We report on the first such transition in a quaternary system based on a transition element. Metallic LaMg2Ni absorbs hydrogen near ambient conditions, forming the nonmetallic hydride LaMg2NiH7 which has a nearly unchanged metal host structure (atom shifts \&lt;0.7 Angstrom). The transition is induced by a charge transfer of conduction electrons into tetrahedral [NiH4](4-) complexes having closed-shell electron configurations.</p>
