A rationally designed amino-borane complex in a metal organic framework: a novel reusable hydrogen storage and size-selective reduction material

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 May 4;51(36):7610-3. doi: 10.1039/c5cc00193e.

Abstract

A novel amino-borane complex inside a stable metal organic framework was synthesized for the first time. It releases hydrogen at a temperature of 78 °C with no volatile contaminants and can be well reused. Its application as a size-selective reduction material in organic synthesis was also demonstrated.
