Abstract

Three different classes of boron and nitrogen containing light metal complex hydrides have been investigated, resulting from the reactions of LiNH2 with LiBH4, NaNH2 with NaBH4 and MHx (where M = Li, Na and Ca) with NH3BH3. A rich variety of new phases has been identified, which exhibit modified decomposition pathways and onset temperatures of hydrogen desorption as low as 40°C. In each case the composition of phases formed has been examined in detail and the products of thermal decomposition—solid and gaseous—have been determined.

12.Vegard's law is normally only invoked in cases where the structure remains constant, such as in alloyHowever, s. since it accurately predicts the crystallographic density of Li4BH4(NH2)3 from the end members LiNH2 and LiBH4 (see ref. [4]) its use in this context was considered justified.Google Scholar
