Summary:An uncommon dehydrogenation mechanism for metal chloride-added ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3 , AB) systems revealed that MgCl 2 interacts with the [NH 3 ] units in AB, analogous to the amine complex of Mg(NH 3 ) x Cl 2 , thus not only resulting in a remarkable decrease in the hydrogen desorption temperature but also effectively suppressing undesirable volatile by-products, particularly ammonia gas. MgCl 2 unexpectedly interacts with [NH 3 ] units in NH 3 BH 3 , analogous to the amine complex of Mg(NH 3 ) x Cl 2 , resulting in superior desorption.
