Description

General description

Ammonia borane also known as borazane has high hydrogen content (about 20% mass). Thermal decomposition of borazane take place in the temperature range 350-410K accompanied by hydrogen release and heat evolution. It may find use as a hydrogen source in fuel cells in the future.

Borane-ammonia complex is a novel material, where ammonia is tightly bound to a ligand through all four of its atoms. It is a donor-acceptor complex that is formed by electron donated by a Lewis base (NH₃) to a Lewis acid (BH₃). It shows a B-N bond distance of 1.564 Å.

Application

Borazane is popularly used as an ammonia borane (AB) source for the formation of hexagonal boron nitride monolayers which are used as a substrate for graphene growth.
