Structure and decomposition of zinc borohydride ammonia adduct: towards a pure hydrogen release

Zn(BH4)2.2NH3, a new ammine metal borohydride, has been synthesized via simply ball-milling a mixture of ZnCl2.2NH3/2LiBH4. Structure analysis shows that the subsequent complex has a monoclinic structure with unit-cell parameters of a = 6.392(4) A, b = 8.417(6) A, c = 6.388(4) A and β = 92.407(4)° a...
