Crystal structure and in situ decomposition of Eu(BH4)2 and Sm(BH4)2
Synthesis of halide free rare earth metal (RE) borohydride complexes is demonstrated by the metathesis reaction of trivalent RE metal chlorides and LiBH4 in ethereal solution, combined with solvent extraction using dimethyl sulfide. The crystal structures of Eu(BH4)2 and Sm(BH4)2 are orthorhombic (s...
