The molecular strontium hydride 2 [(Cbz)SrH(L)] (L=benzene, toluene) was isolated and stabilized by employing a sterically demanding carbazole ligand (Cbz=1,8-bis(3,5-ditertbutylphenyl)-3,6-ditertbutylcarbazolyl). Compound 2 was synthesized via phenylsilane metathesis with the corresponding amide (Cbz)SrN(SiMe) and characterized by H NMR, XRD and vibrational spectroscopy methods. We further investigated the stoichiometric reactivity of 2 towards carbon monoxide, azobenzene and trimethylsilylacetylene, showing three distinct reactivity pathways: addition, reduction and deprotonation. The reaction of 2 with carbon monoxide yields the ethenediolate complex 4 via addition, while with azobenzene reduction of the N-N double bond and release of hydrogen were observed, affording a heteroleptic strontium complex with a radical azobenzenyl ligand (5). The terminal alkyne is deprotonated by the hydride moiety to give the acetylide complex 6.

Hydrogenolysis of [(Tp)Sr{CH(SiMe)}] () (Tp = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate) in hexane solution under 20 atm of H allowed for the isolation of strontium hydride [(Tp)Sr(μ-H)] () in good yield. Complex exhibits the dimeric nature in solid state, featuring two different bond modes between the Sr center and Tp ligand. Treatment of complex with PhC(H)═NBu or PhCHBpin (Bpin = pinacolateborane) afforded the strontium amide complex [(Tp)Sr{N(CHPh)(Bu)}] () and hydroborate complex [(Tp)Sr{μ-HBpin(CHPh)}] (), respectively.

A bulky, unsymmetrical β-diketiminate ligand, [HC{MeCN(Dip)}{MeCN(TCHP)}] (Nacnac; Dip = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, TCHP = 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphenyl), has been utilised in the preparation of a series of magnesium alkyl and calcium, strontium and barium amide complexes. Reaction of these with PhSiH afforded the first complete series of β-diketiminato heavier group 2 metal hydride complexes, [{(Nacnac)M(μ-H)}] (M = Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba). The unsymmetrical nature of the β-diketiminate ligand seemingly promotes stabilising interactions of ligand Dip groups with the metal centres in the Ca, Sr and Ba hydride complexes.

Ammonia synthesis the catalytic Haber-Bosch process is characterized by its high pressures and low single-pass conversions, as well as by the energy-intensive production of the precursors H and N and their concomitant greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatively, thermochemical cycles based on metal nitrides stand as a promising pathway to green ammonia production because they can be conducted at moderate pressures without added catalysts and be further driven by concentrated solar energy as the source of high-temperature process heat. The ideal two-step cycle consists of the nitridation of a metal to form a metal nitride, followed by the hydrogenation of the metal nitride to synthetize NH and reform the metal.

Multianionic metal hydrides, which exhibit a wide variety of physical properties and complex structures, have recently attracted growing interest. Here we present Sr N[BN ] H , prepared in a solid-state ampoule reaction at 800 °C, as the first combination of nitridoborate, nitride and hydride anions within a single compound. The crystal structure was solved from single-crystal X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data in space group P2 /c (no.
