Hydrolysis of Ammonia Borane Catalyzed by Aminophosphine-Stabilized Precursors of Rhodium Nanoparticles: Ligand Effects and Solvent-Controlled Product Formation

摘要

Releasing hydrogen: Aminophosphine complexes of rhodium are excellent systems for the hydrolysis of H₃NBH₃. The release of H₂ in THF/H₂O mixtures generates NH₃ and B(OH)₃ and is based on the sequential catalytic dehydrogenation of H₃NBH_3−n(OH)_n and hydrolysis of H₂NBH_2−n(OH)_n (n=0–2, see scheme).
