Abstract

Magnesium amidoborane monoammoniate (Mg(NH2BH3)2·NH3) which crystallizes in a monoclinic structure (space group P21/a) has been synthesized by reacting MgNH with NH3BH3. Dihydrogen bonds are established between coordinated NH3 and BH3 of [NH2BH3]− in the structure, promoting stoichiometric conversion of NH3 to H2.
