PROCEDURES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ETHYLENEDIAMINE BISBORANE AND AMMONIA BORANE

摘要

A method for synthesizing ammonia borane includes (a) preparing a reaction mixture in one or more solvents, the reaction mixture containing sodium borohydride, at least one ammonium salt, and ammonia; and (b) incubating the reaction mixture at temperatures between about 0 °C to about room temperature in an ambient air environment under conditions sufficient to form ammonia borane. Methods for synthesizing ethyl enedi amine bisborane, and methods for dehydrogenation of ethylenediamine bisborane are also described.
