Abstract

Ammonia borane (NH₃BH₃) is a molecular solid with a high volumetric and gravimetric density of hydrogen. We report room temperature structural data which shows how the freely rotating NH₃ and BH ₃ groups allow a N-H...H-B dihydrogen bond in which hydrogen atoms on adjacent molecules are separated by only 1.90Å. The initial decomposition of ammonia borane at 80-100°C into (NH₂BH₂) _n and H₂ has been studied by in-situ nmr spectroscopy and kinetic studies using isotopic substitution. The reaction proceeds by a bimolecular pathway involving a [NH₃BH₂NH ₃]⁺BH₄^- intermediate with an activation energy of 136kJmol^-1.
