Efficient Synthesis of an Aluminum Amidoborane Ammoniate

چکیده
A novel species of metal amidoborane ammoniate, [Al(NH2BH3)63−][Al(NH3)63+] has been successfully synthesized in up to 95% via the one-step reaction of AlH3·OEt2 with liquid NH3BH3·nNH3 (n = 1~6) at 0 °C. This solution based reaction method provides an alternative pathway to the traditional mechano-chemical ball milling methods, avoiding possible decomposition. MAS 27Al NMR spectroscopy confirms the formulation of the compound as an Al(NH2BH3)63− complex anion and an Al(NH3)63+ cation. Initial dehydrogenation studies of this aluminum based M-N-B-H compound demonstrate that hydrogen is released at temperatures as low as 65 °C, totaling ~8.6 equivalents of H2 (10.3 wt %) upon heating to 105 °C. This method of synthesis offers a promising route towards the large scale production of metal amidoborane ammoniate moieties.

متن کاملPromotion of hydrogen release from ammonia borane with magnesium nitride.
Hydrogen release from ammonia borane (NH(3)BH(3), AB) can be greatly promoted by mechanical milling with magnesium nitride (Mg(3)N(2)). For example, a post-milled 6AB/Mg(3)N(2) sample started to release hydrogen from ∼65 °C and gave a material-based hydrogen capacity of ∼11 wt% upon heating to 300 °C. In addition to the improved dehydrogenation kinetics, the 6AB/Mg(3)N(2) sample also showed sat...
