Application

Lithium borohydride is a commonly used reducing agent. It can also be used a reactant for:
  • Preparation of gallium, indium, rhenium and zinc tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)hydroborato complexes.
  • Mechano-chemical metathesis reactions.
  • Noncatalytic hydrolysis for hydrogen generation.
  • Growth of large gold monolayer protected-clusters.
  • Anion substitution reactions.
  • Dehydrogenation reactions.
