Mechanistic aspects of boron hydride reactions

Formation Process of [B<SUB>12</SUB>H<SUB>12</SUB>]<SUP>2&minus;</SUP> from [BH<SUB>4</SUB>]<SUP>&minus;</SUP> during the Dehydrogenation Reaction of Mg(BH<SUB>4</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB>

“…3(b) 11,13) respectively. The other two peaks at À15:7 and À51:3 ppm 14) Toward distinguish second order nuclear quadrupole interaction and isotropic chemical shift, 11 B MAS NMR spectrum measured at lower magnetic field of 7 T is shown for comparison. As the magnetic field decreases from 14.1 T to 7 T, the individual peaks at À24:7, À39:1 and À51:3 ppm do not change obviously, while that at À15:7 ppm becomes invisible or overlaps with that at À24:7 ppm.…”

A novel method for the synthesis of solvent-free Mg(B3H8)2

“…and the synthesis of higher boranes 3,4 or carborane cluster compounds. 5 Owing to their high hydrogen density, octahydrotriborates have also been discussed as hydrogen storage materials (e.g., NaB 3 H 8 , NH 4 B 3 H 8 ).…”

Metal Borohydrides beyond Groups I and II: A Review

“…Other B–H compounds or ions have been reported from the reaction between B 2 H 6 and borohydrides or hydrides in the context of studying the borane chemistry [ 266 ]: B 2 H 6 + MBH 4 → MB 3 H 8 + H 2 B 5 H 9 + MH → M(B 5 H 8 ) + H 2 M(B 5 H 8 ) + ½B 2 H 6 → M(B 6 H 11 ) B 10 H 14 + MBH 4 → MB 11 H 14 + 2H 2 , M = Li, Na …”
