METAL AMIDOBORANE COMPOSITIONS AND PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

The present invention provides compositions comprising a metal amidoborane and an amine, and processes for preparing the metal amidoborane compositions. In particular, the process comprises contacting ammonia borane with a metal amide in the presence of an amine solvent to form the metal amidoborane composition. The invention also provides methods for generating hydrogen, wherein the method comprises heating the metal amidoborane composition such that hydrogen is released.
