Novel solvates M(BH4)3S(CH3)2 and properties of halide-free M(BH4)3 (M = Y or Gd)

Rare earth metal borohydrides have been proposed as materials for solid-state hydrogen storage because of their reasonably low temperature of decomposition. New synthesis methods, which provide halide-free yttrium and gadolinium borohydride, are presented using dimethyl sulfide and new solvates as i...
