General description
Ammonia borane, also known as borazane has high hydrogen content (about 20% mass). Thermal decomposition of borazane takes place in the temperature range of 350-410K accompanied by hydrogen release and heat evolution. It may find use as a hydrogen source in fuel cells in the future.
Borane-ammonia complex is a novel material, where ammonia is tightly bound to a ligand through all four of its atoms. It is a donor-acceptor complex that is formed by electron donation from a Lewis base (NH3) to a Lewis acid (BH3). It shows a B-N bond distance of 1.564 Å.
This product aligns with one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry Find details here.
Application
Borazane acts as a mild, efficient, and stereoselective reducing agent for aldehydes and ketones in protic or nonprotic media.It can be used as a storage medium for release of hydrogenBorazane is popularly used as an ammonia borane (AB) source for the formation of hexagonal boron nitride monolayers which are used as a substrate for graphene growth.
