Abstract

No foaming at the mouth here: A calcium(II) derivative of ammonia–borane, Ca(NH2BH3)2 (see picture; green Ca, red O, blue N, yellow B, gray C, small green H), has thermal properties that are quite different from those of ammonia–borane. Ca(NH2BH3)2 releases hydrogen over a temperature range of 100 to 170 °C without foaming.
