Abstract

Cr, V, and Fe amino borohydride complexes were synthesized using a solution based approach. Thermogravimetric Analysis with simultaneous Differential Scanning Calorimetry was used to investigate their decomposition behavior. The synthesized Cr and Fe complexes exhibited significant hydrogen release around 100 °C. The synthesized V complex showed a large mass loss at temperatures between 50 °C and 100 °C and release of amine byproducts. FTIR of decomposed intermediates showed the decomposition of Cr amino borohydride occurs through the simultaneous loss of hydrogen from both the borohydride and amino ligands, while the Fe complex displays preferential dehydrogenation of the borohydride over the amino ligand. The decomposed products take on a BN type structure when heated to 400 °C.
