Metall-Amidoborane als Wasserstoffspeicher: Untersuchungen aus metallorganischer Sicht
Final Report Abstract
In conclusion: by studying the effects of substituents, metals and ligands we could obtain important information on the mechanism of H2-release in metal amidoborane complexes. This scheme has been reproduced by calculation (by a competing group) and is now generally accepted. The research also led to a new, highly efficient, method for the synthesis of metal hydride complexes. This method is now used for example in the synthesis of transition metal hydride complexes. The reversibility of the reaction remains an important goal and should be regarded as a holy grail. The largest surprise was that most metal amidoborane complexes are not stable but immediately eliminate R2N=BH2 species and give clean formation of metal hydride complexes. These unexpected results, however, can be exploited in the synthesis of metal hydride complexes and now forms one our standard methods.
