Aluminum methylamidoborane complexes: mechanochemical synthesis, structure, stability, and reactive hydride composites

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20] However, it undergoes thermal decomposition in multiple steps at about 120 °C, 200 °C, and 500 °C, respectively, 16 accompanied by the evolution of some toxic volatile byproducts (B 2 H 6 , NH 3 , N 3 B 3 H 6 ) and severe foaming and volume expansion during the thermal decomposition. [21][22][23] Many strategies have been explored to overcome these problems; for example, by forming metal amidoboranes (MABs), 6,[24][25][26][27] including mono-metallic [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and multi-metallic [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] derivatives. Compared to pristine AB, MABs oen have lower decomposition temperatures and/or release hydrogen with improved purity.…”
