Transition metal catalysed ammonia-borane dehydrogenation in ionic liquids

William R. H. Wright, Emily R. Berkeley, Laif R. Alden, R. Tom Baker, Larry G. Sneddon

Abstract

Significant advantages result from combining the disparate hydrogen release pathways for ammonia-borane (AB) dehydrogenation using ionic liquids (ILs) and transition metal catalysts. With the RuCl(2)(PMe(3))(4) catalyst precursor, AB dehydrogenation selectivity and extent are maximized in an IL with a moderately coordinating ethylsulfate anion.
