LiBH4 is a complex hydride and exhibits a high gravimetric hydrogen density of 18.5 wt %. Therefore it is a promising hydrogen storage material for mobile applications. The stability of LiBH4 was investigated by pcT (pressure, concentration, and temperature) measurements under constant hydrogen flows and extrapolated to equilibrium. According to the van 't Hoff equation the following thermodynamic parameters are determined for the desorption: enthalpy of reaction DeltarH = 74 kJ mol-1 H2 and entropy of reaction DeltarS = 115 J K-1 mol-1 H2. LiBH4 decomposes to LiH + B + 3/2H2 and can theoretically release 13.9 wt % hydrogen for this reaction. It is shown that the reaction can be reversed at a temperature of 600 degrees C and at a pressure of 155 bar. The formation of LiBH4 was confirmed by XRD (X-ray diffraction). In the rehydrided material 8.3 wt % hydrogen was desorbed in a TPD (temperature-programmed desorption) measurement compared to 10.9 wt % desorbed in the first dehydrogenation.

The nanoconfinement of LiBH into mesoporous AlO as a fast lithium-ion conductor is presented, and its high-temperature phase is retained at near-room temperature. It exhibits an excellent electrochemical stability and Li conductivity of 3.2 × 10 S cm at 75 °C, which represents an increase of nearly three orders of magnitude compared to the pristine one.

New synthetic routes have been developed to synthesize osmaborane clusters featuring B and B rings in the coordination spheres of osmium. Thermolysis of [Os(PPh)Cl], in the presence of excess of [BH·THF] led to the formation of [Os(PPh)H(η-BH)], along with [HOs(PPh)BH], . Cluster features a planar tetraborane ring coordinated to an osmium center in an η fashion.

Article Synopsis
- Treatment of [Cp*TiCl] with [LiBH ⋅ THF] and subsequent heating with [PhE] (E=S or Se) leads to the creation of new diborane(6) complexes, which are the first known examples of their kind.
- These complexes are stabilized by four bridging ligands, including two that donate electrons to the titanium center, enhancing stability.
- When these diborane(6) complexes react with metal carbonyls [M(CO) ⋅ THF] (where M = Mo or W), it breaks the B-B bond, producing new complexes that include teflon analogs, which are less stable and not easily isolated.

Deposition of atom-precise nanoclusters onto solid supports is a promising route to synthesize model heterogeneous catalysts. However, to enhance nanocluster-support interactions, activation of the nanoclusters by removal of surface ligands is necessary. Thermal treatment to remove surface ligands from supported metal nanoclusters can yield highly active heterogeneous catalysts, however, the high temperatures employed can lead to poor control over the final size and speciation of the nanoclusters.
