Abstract

In contrast to neat ammonia-borane (AB), the thermal decomposition of AB with N-substituted amine-boranes yields a liquid product after extended heating and H2 release. NMR and GPC data indicate that co-oligomerization has occurred. These results show promise for developing high energy density AB-based fuel formulations for automotive applications.
