Carbon materials play an important role in the development of solid hydrogen storage materials. The main purpose this work is to study low-cost synthesis biomass carbon (BC) and its positive effect on behavior magnesium hydride (MgH2). Herein, it proven that when used together with (MgH2), can be as adsorption desorption channel for hydrogen. initial dehydrogenation temperature MgH2 + 10 wt% BC...

Abstract Molecular β‐diketiminato (BDI) calcium hydride and n ‐hexyl derivatives are shown to display contrasting reactivities toward bis(pinacolato)diboron (B 2 pin ). Whereas the dimeric constitution of is retained during formation an unusual diborane(6) dianion, initially organocalcium reagent converted a diboranate monomer, [(BDI)Ca{pinB‐Bpin( ‐hex)}]. Attempts effect heterolysis B−B bond t...

The FeMoco of nitrogenase is an iron-sulfur cluster with exceptional bond-reducing abilities. ENDOR studies have suggested that E4, the state that binds and reduces N2, contains bridging hydrides as part of the active-site iron-sulfide cluster. However, there are no examples of any isolable iron-sulfide cluster with a hydride, which would test the feasibility of such a species. Here, we describ...

The insertion, elimination and isomerisation of octenes with di-n-octylaluminium hydride [HAl(Oct)2], tri-n-octylaluminium [Al(Oct)3] and sec-octylaluminium species have been studied as individual steps in a putative aluminium based contrathermodynamic olefin isomerisation process. While elimination of 1-octene from [Al(Oct)3] is energetically unfavourable, the process is driven by high tempera...

The newest neutron scattering applications are highly intensity-limited techniques that demand reducing the losses between source and detectors. In addition, nuclear industry demands more accurate data procedures for design optimization of advanced fission reactors, especially treatment fuel moderator materials. To meet these demands, it is necessary to improve existing calculation tools, throu...

An electrochemical hydride generation (ECHG) technique was developed to improve the determination of thallium by atomic spectrometry. The technique is based on the catholyte variation system for production of thallium hydride. Using Pb-Sn alloy as cathode, a transient peak shaped signal was achieved and its height, the maximum absorbance value, was taken as an analytical parameter. Parameters t...

A comprehensive analysis of the network of coupled motions correlated to hydride transfer in dihydrofolate reductase is presented. Hybrid quantum/classical molecular dynamics simulations are combined with a rank correlation analysis method to extract thermally averaged properties that vary along the collective reaction coordinate according to a prescribed target model. Coupled motions correlate...

The reaction betw een catalytically prepared m agnesium hydride (M gH 2*) and [TiCl3(T H F )3] in a molar ratio o f 1.5:1 in T H F yields a highly pyrophoric, X-ray am orphous titanium hydride precipitate with the com position [TiH2 -(M gC l2 -2 T H F )0.2-o.3] (2). This novel titanium hydride has been characterized through hydrolysis and iodolysis, as well as through therm olysis to Ti* and H ...

High-pressure metal hydride vehicular hydrogen storage systems can offer good overall gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities. Enhanced heat transfer techniques will be essential to achieve established goals for tank filling times. A numerical model is developed to simulate the hydrogen filling process of a subscale high-pressure metal hydride (Ti1.1CrMn) system. The model is validated by...

Novel inorganic alkali and alkaline earth hydrides of the f o r m u l a MH *, MH 2 * , and MH X * wherein M is the metal, X , is a halide, and H * comprises a novel high binding energy hydride ion were synthesized in a high temperature gas cell by reaction of atomic hydrogen with a catalyst and MH , MH 2 , or MX corresponding to an alkali metal or alkaline e a r t h metal compound, respectively...
