Ammonia borane (also systematically named amminetrihydridoboron), also called borazane, is the chemical compound with the formula H3NBH3. The catalytic dehydrogenation mechanism of ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) by Ni N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes has been investigated by density functional theory. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Ammonia borane has been suggested as a storage medium for hydrogen, e.g. Catalytic AB dehydrogenation has thus been a popular topic in … The density of ammonia borane is reported to be 0.78 g cm −3.

Hydrogen release from ammonia borane is mediated by either hydrolysis, thus giving borate products that are difficult to rereduce, or direct dehydrogenation. This difference is consistent with the highly polar nature of ammonia borane. 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. It has attracted attention as a source of hydrogen fuel, but is otherwise primarily of academic interest.

The colourless or white solid is the simplest molecular boron-nitrogen-hydride compound. Ammonia borane (also systematically named amminetrihydridoboron), also called borazane, is the chemical compound with the formula H 3 NBH 3.The colourless or white solid is the simplest molecular boron-nitrogen-hydride compound. Additionally, many complexes of borane have been prepared, including borane dimethylsulfide (Me2S→BH3) and borane–tetrahydrofuran (THF→BH3). Variations are also possible for the boron component, although primary and secondary boranes are less common.[8].

Ammonia borane (AB) is a solid hydrogen storage material that has garnered attention for its high hydrogen weight density (19.6 wt %) and ease of handling and transport. The closest H−H distance is 1.990 Å, which can be compared with the H−H bonding distance of 0.74 Å.

Mechanism for Forming B,C,N,O Rings from NH However, in the absence of a straightforward, efficient method for regenerating AB from dehydrogenated polymeric spent fuel, its full potential as a viable H2 storage material will not be realized. 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. 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. InChI=1S/BH3.H3N/h2*1H3 Crossref. It was found that the intramolecular pathway is mostly kinetically favorable with lower activation barrier of 15.51 kcal/mol than the intermolecular pathway. First-Principles Study of Intrinsic Defects in Ammonia Borane. Generally adduct are more robust with more basic amines. It has attracted attention as a source of hydrogen fuel, but is otherwise primarily of academic interest.

[6], Ammonia borane finds some use in organic synthesis as an air-stable derivative of diborane.[7]. Its similarity to ethane is tenuous since ammonia borane is a solid and ethane is a gas: their melting points differing by 284 °C. 199 Ren'ai Road, Suzhou 215123, China. ammonia borane (AB = NH 3BH 3) has received significant interest given its stability and commercial availability.

If you do not receive an email within 10 minutes, your email address may not be registered, Reaction of diborane with ammonia mainly gives the diammoniate salt [H2B(NH3)2]+(BH4)−. Mechanistic insights into tandem amine-borane dehydrogenation and alkene hydrogenation catalyzed by [Pd(NHC)(PCy3)]. for when the gas is used to fuel motor vehicles. 3 This interaction is called a dihydrogen bond. Ammonia borane is the main product when an adduct of borane is employed in place of diborane:[1]. Many analogues have been prepared from primary, secondary, and even tertiary amines: The first amine adduct of borane was derived from trimethylamine. [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. Ammonia borane, isoelectronic with ethane, is a solid at room temperature, stable in air and water and contains 190 g/kg (100–140 g/L) hydrogen. Moreover, for intermolecular dehydrogenation of AB, the activation prefers to take place at monocarbene Ni(NHC) catalyst. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy.
