In addition, the phonon density of states for neat ammonia borane compares well with other spectroscopic results, with the intense peak at 22meV assigned to the librational NH 3 and BH 3 modes, whereas ammonia borane on MCM-41 displays a broad, featureless spectrum indicating a poorly crystalline material. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Density. [2][3] The original crystallographic analysis of this compound reversed the assignments of B and N. The updated structure was arrived at with improved data using the technique of neutron diffraction that allowed the hydrogen atoms to be located with greater precision. 3 It has attracted attention as a source of hydrogen fuel, but is otherwise primarily of academic interest. It can be made to release hydrogen on heating, being polymerized first to (NH2BH2)n, then to (NHBH)n,[4] which ultimately decomposes to boron nitride (BN) at temperatures above 1000 °C. Two possible mechanisms of the dehydrogenation of NH3BH3 have been theoretically studied: intramolecular reaction at Ni dicarbene and intermolecular reaction at Ni monocarbene and dicarbene.

Lower densities were measured for polycrystalline pellets (0.73 g cm −3) and were determined from powder XRD (0.74 g cm −3 for the tetragonal phase , , , , and 0.7799 g cm −3 for the orthorhombic one ). Mechanistic insights into tandem amine-borane dehydrogenation and alkene hydrogenation catalyzed by [Pd(NHC)(PCy3)]. The structure of the solid indicates a close association of the NH and the BH centers. Ammonia borane (H3N-BH3, AB) is a lightweight material containing a high density of hydrogen (H2) that can be readily liberated for use in fuel cell–powered applications. and CO Please note: The publisher is not responsible for the content or functionality of any supporting information supplied by the authors. DFT studies of dehydrogenation of ammonia–borane catalyzed by [Ir(ItBu′)2]+: A proton transfer mechanism. Ammonia borane is the main product when an adduct of borane is employed in place of diborane:[1]. Synthesis and Application of Organoboron Compounds. Generally adduct are more robust with more basic amines. Investigation of ligand steric effect on the hydrogen gas produced via a nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane utilizing unsymmetrical triazolylidene ligands. InChI=1S/BH3.H3N/h2*1H3 The closest H−H distance is 1.990 Å, which can be compared with the H−H bonding distance of 0.74 Å. Working off-campus? [5] It is more hydrogen-dense than liquid hydrogen and also able to exist at normal temperatures and pressures. First-Principles Study of Intrinsic Defects in Ammonia Borane. Reaction of diborane with ammonia mainly gives the diammoniate salt [H2B(NH3)2]+(BH4)−. Number of times cited according to CrossRef: DFT studies on the Ru-Catalyzed hydrolysis ofAmmonia Borane. The catalytic dehydrogenation mechanism of ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3, AB) by Ni N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes has been investigated by density functional theory. The density of ammonia borane is reported to be 0.78 g cm −3. Dehydrocyclization of diamine borane and amine-borane alcohol catalyzed by 1-lithio-2-alkyl-1,2-dihydropyridine and its Na & K analogues: A DFT analysis of the reaction mechanism. . 3 Ammonia borane (also systematically named amminetrihydridoboron), also called borazane, is the chemical compound with the formula H3NBH3. This interaction is called a dihydrogen bond. for when the gas is used to fuel motor vehicles. [6], Ammonia borane finds some use in organic synthesis as an air-stable derivative of diborane.[7].
