Abstract: Investigating metal-ion solvation—in particular, the fundamental binding interactions— enhances the understanding of many processes, including hydrogen production via catalysis at metal + centers and metal corrosion. Infrared spectra of the hydrated zinc dimer (Zn2 (H2O)n; n = 1–20) were measured in the O–H stretching region, using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy. These spectra were then compared with those calculated by using density functional theory. For all cluster sizes, calculated structures adopting asymmetric solvation to one Zn atom in the dimer were found to lie lower in energy than structures adopting symmetric solvation to both Zn atoms. Combining experiment and theory, the spectra show that water molecules preferentially + Citation: Cunningham, E.M.; Taxer, bind to one Zn atom, adopting water binding motifs similar to the Zn (H2O)n complexes studied T.; Heller, J.; Onˇcák,M.; van der + previously.

Rev., 2016, 45, 1112 Tom E. Stennett and Sjoerd Harder* Metal amidoborane compounds of the alkali- and alkaline earth metals have in recent years found applications in diverse disciplines, notably as hydrogen storage materials, as reagents for the reduction of organic functional groups and as catalysts and intermediates in dehydrocoupling reactions. These functions are connected by the organometallic chemistry of the MNR2BH3 group.† This review focusses on central aspects of the s-block amidoborane compounds – their syntheses, structures and reactivity. Well-defined amidoborane complexes of group 2 metals are now available by a variety of solution-phase routes, which has allowed a more detailed analysis of this functional group, which was previously largely confined to solid-state materials chemistry. Structures obtained from X-ray crystallography have begun to provide increased understanding of the fundamental steps of key processes, including amine–borane Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. dehydrocoupling and hydrogen release from primary and secondary amidoboranes.

An organic acid (acetic acid, CH3COOH) has been chosen as the catalyst. The study has three objectives: first, using three different weights of MgH2 react with aqueous solution of acid for the hydrogen generation experiments. Secondly, utilizing acetic acid as the catalyst accelerates hydrogen generation. Third, emphasizing the combination of the three operating conditions (the weight of MgH2, the concentration of acetic acid, and the varying temperature) influence the amount of hydrogen generation.

  • Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc
    Metal-Metal (MM) Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc Richard H. Duncan Lyngdoh*,a, Henry F. Schaefer III*,b and R. Bruce King*,b a Department of Chemistry, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India B Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 ABSTRACT: This survey of metal-metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such systems. The metals surveyed are titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, representing the only comprehensive presentation of such results to date. Factors impacting MM bond lengths that are discussed here include (a) n+ the formal MM bond order, (b) size of the metal ion present in the bimetallic core (M2) , (c) the metal oxidation state, (d) effects of ligand basicity, coordination mode and number, and (e) steric effects of bulky ligands. Correlations between experimental and computational findings are examined wherever possible, often yielding good agreement for MM bond lengths. The formal bond order provides a key basis for assessing experimental and computationally derived MM bond lengths. The effects of change in the metal upon MM bond length ranges in binuclear complexes suggest trends for single, double, triple, and quadruple MM bonds which are related to the available information on metal atomic radii. It emerges that while specific factors for a limited range of complexes are found to have their expected impact in many cases, the assessment of the net effect of these factors is challenging.

P. White,‡ and Mark R. Crimmin*,‡ † ‡ SSCP DTP, Grantham Institute, and Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, South Kensington, London SW7 2AZ, U.K. *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: A series of copper(I) complexes bearing electron-deficient β- diketiminate ligands have been prepared. The study includes [{{ArNC(CR3)}2CH}- η2 · · Cu( -toluene)n] (Ar = Mes, R = F, n = 0.5, [12 tol]; Ar = C6F5, R = Me, n =1,[2 · − · tol]; Ar = 2,6-Cl2C6H3,R=H,n = 0.5, [32 tol]). Reactions of [1 3n tol] with boranes, alanes, a zinc hydride, a magnesium hydride, and a calcium hydride generate the corresponding σ complexes ([1−3·B], [3·B′], [3·Al], [3·Al′], [1−3·Zn], [1·Mg], and [1·Ca]). These species all form reversibly, being in equilibrium with the arene solvates in solution. With the exception of the calcium complex, the complexes have all been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In solution, the σ-hydride of the aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and − − − σ calcium derivatives resonates between 0.12 and 1.77 ppm (C6D6 or toluene-d8, 193 298 K). For the -borane complexes, the hydrides are observed as a single resonance between 2 and 3.5 ppm (C6D6, 298 K) and bridging and terminal hydrides rapidly exchange on the NMR time scale even at 193 K. Quantification of the solution dynamics by van’tHoff analysis yields expectedly small values of ΔH° and negative values of ΔS° consistent with weak binding and a reversible process that does not involve aggregation of the copper species.

This paper reviews the thermodynamics of the Mg-H system and the kinetics of hydrogen transport. Aspects of magnesium corrosion relevant to hydrogen absorption are also discussed.

Received: 18 April 2012; in revised form: 30 July 2012 / Accepted: 10 August 2012 / Published: 15 October 2012 Abstract: As potential hydrogen storage media, magnesium based hydrides have been systematically studied in order to improve reversibility, storage capacity, kinetics and thermodynamics. The present article deals with the electrochemical and optical properties of Mg alloy hydrides. Electrochemical hydrogenation, compared to conventional gas phase hydrogen loading, provides precise control with only moderate reaction conditions. Interestingly, the alloy composition determines the crystallographic nature of the metal- hydride: a structural change is induced from rutile to fluorite at 80 at.% of Mg in Mg-TM alloy, with ensuing improved hydrogen mobility and storage capacity. So far, 6 wt.% (equivalent to 1600 mAh/g) of reversibly stored hydrogen in MgyTM(1-y)Hx (TM: Sc, Ti) has been reported. Thin film forms of these metal-hydrides reveal interesting electrochromic properties as a function of hydrogen content.
