A New Complex Borohydride LiAl(BH4)2Cl2

Unusual reactivity of lanthanide borohydride complexes leading to a borane complex.

Depending on the ionic radius of the central metal atom the BH(4)(-) group, which usually reacts in lanthanide chemistry like a pseudo halide, can be involved in redox chemistry and the resulting product contains an N-BH(3) unit, which binds in an unusual eta(2)-fashion onto the metal atom.

A direct borohydride—Acid peroxide fuel cell

A fuel cell operating with aqueous sodium borohydride and hydrogen peroxide streams, with one, two and four cells (electrode area 64, 128 nd 256 cm2) connected in a bipolar mode in a filterpress flow cell is reported. The oxidation of borohydride ion was carried out on Au/C particles upported on a carbon felt electrode while the reduction of hydrogen peroxide was carried out on carbon supported...

Synthetic Applications of Zinc Borohydride

Manganese borohydride; synthesis and characterization.

Solvent-based synthesis and characterization of α-Mn(BH4)2 and a new nanoporous polymorph of manganese borohydride, γ-Mn(BH4)2, via a new solvate precursor, Mn(BH4)2·1/2S(CH3)2, is presented. Manganese chloride is reacted with lithium borohydride in a toluene/dimethylsulfide mixture at room temperature, which yields halide and solvent-free manganese borohydride after extraction with dimethylsul...
