METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM THE DEHYDROCOUPLING OF AMINE BORANES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to processes and methods of generating hydrogen via the dehydrocoupling of amine boranes using ligand-stabilized homogenous metal catalysts. The amine-borane is shown by the formula (I), R1R2N-BHR3R4. A process is also shown for the preparation of a linear, branched or cyclic polymer which comprises a repeating unit of the formula (II), - [R1R2N-BR3R4] -n, by reacting HR1R2N-BHR3R4 in the presence of at least one ligand-stabilized metal catalyst.
