A hydridoirida-beta-diketone as an efficient and robust homogeneous catalyst for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane or amine-borane adducts in air to produce hydrogen.

The first homogeneous metal-catalysed hydrolysis of ammonia-borane or amine-borane adducts for hydrogen generation, using a stable organometallic complex [IrHCl{(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)H}], is reported.

Exploring the fate of the tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane radical anion in weakly coordinating solvents.

We report a kinetic and mechanistic study into the one-electron reduction of the archetypal Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, B(C(6)F(5))(3), in dichloromethane and 1,2-difluorobenzene. Electrochemical experiments, combined with digital simulations, DFT computational studies and multinuclear NMR analysis allow us to obtain thermodynamic, kinetic and mechanistic information relating to t...

Planar-chiral ferrocenylphosphine-borane complexes featuring agostic-type B-HE (E = Hg, Sn) interactions.

The synthesis of ferrocenylphosphine-borane adducts 1,2-fc(E)(PPh2·BH3) (E = SnR2R', HgX; 1,2-fc = 1,2-ferrocenediyl) that are substituted with organotin or organomercury Lewis acid moieties in ortho-position is presented. Several compounds that feature two ferrocenylphosphine-borane moieties bridged by Sn or Hg are also introduced. The products are fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spect...

ZIF-8 immobilized nickel nanoparticles: highly effective catalysts for hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of ammonia borane.

Highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles have been successfully immobilized by the zeolitic metal-organic framework ZIF-8 via sequential deposition-reduction methods, which show high catalytic activity and long durability for hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of aqueous ammonia borane (NH(3)BH(3)) at room temperature.
