Synopsis This work has investigated structural and compositional changes in LiBH4, Mg(BH4)2, Ca(BH4)2, LiBH4-Ca(BH4)2 during heating. The crystal and vibrational structures of these borohydrides/composites were characterized using lab-based X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, with particular attention to the frequency/width changes of Raman vibrations of different polymorphs of borohydrides. The thermal stability and decomposition pathway of the borohydrides was studied in great detail mainly using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), in/ex situ XRD and Raman measurements, whilst the gaseous products during heating were monitored using a mass spectrometry (MS). Hydrogen is the main decomposition gaseous product from all of these compounds, but in some cases a very small amount of diborane release was also detected. These studies suggest that the thermal decomposition of the metal borohydrides occurs via a wide range of reaction pathways, often in several steps, which may involve simultaneous, and in some cases coupled, competing reactions. This can include the formation of stable borane intermediates/by-products which largely precludes the possibility of reversibility. Furthermore, the role of diborane in the decomposition and formation of borohydrides, was later studied by heating metal borohydrides (or hydrides) to various temperatures in a gaseous diborane-hydrogen atmosphere; and different types of borane products were observed. Attempts to synthesise Mg-B-Ti-H ternary hydrides which can store up to 10.6 wt% H2 in a bulk powder form, were made in this work, by ball-milling mixtures of 0.4MgH2+0.6B, and 0.36MgH2+0.58B+0.06TiX (TiX = Ti, TiH2 or TiCl3) in 100 bar H2. As a result, a single-phase material has not yet been produced, as the composition and ball-milling conditions need to be further optimised. One of the MgH2-B-Ti samples exhibited a 110 °C reduction in hydrogen desorption temperature and accelerated hydrogen sorption kinetics. Finally, high-energy reactive milling of a Li-Mg ribbon alloy was carried out in 100 bar H2, to attempt to directly insert H atoms into the sites of the ordered Li-Mg alloy phase. After milling, the majority of the Li-Mg phase was hydrogenated to form LiH and Mg(1-x)LixH2 (x = ~0.04) phases. In addition, MS shows a small release of H2 at around 425 °C, which might suggest the formation of a minor Li-Mg-H phase. Although this dehydrogenation temperature is too high for mobile hydrogen storage, it may have properties that are of interest for other applications such as heat storage and electrodes in lithium batteries. In summary, this investigation has showed for a number of light metal borohydrides and Mg-based hydride materials with good hydrogen storage capacities, that the hydrogen sorption process(es) is very complex. A better understanding of constituent phases and reaction pathways for sorption reversibility is required, before practical hydrogen media can be produced.

  • Synthesis, Reactivity, and Catalysis of Group 3 and Lanthanide Alkyl Complexes
    Synthesis, Reactivity, and Catalysis of Group 3 and Lanthanide Alkyl Complexes By Daniel Steven Levine A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor T. Don Tilley, Co-Chair Professor Richard A. Andersen, Co-Chair Professor Alexis T. Bell Summer 2016 Abstract Synthesis, Reactivity, and Catalysis of Group 3 and Lanthanide Alkyl Complexes by Daniel Steven Levine Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor T. Don Tilley, Co-Chair Professor Richard A. Andersen, Co-Chair Chapter 1. A series of scandium dialkyl complexes, (PNP)ScR2 (R = neopentyl, trimethylsilylmethyl), supported by the monoanionic, chelating PNP ligand (2,5- bis(dialkylphosphinomethyl)pyrrolide; alkyl = cyclohexyl, tert-butyl) was synthesized and the reactivities of these complexes toward simple hydrocarbons was investigated. The scandium– carbon bonds undergo σ-bond metathesis reactions with hydrogen and these complexes are catalysts for the hydrogenation of alkenes. Reactions with primary amines led to formation of amido complexes that undergo cyclometalation via σ-bond metathesis, without involvement of an imido complex intermediate. A variety of carbon-hydrogen bonds are also activated, including sp-, sp2-, and sp3-C–H bonds (intramolecularly in the latter case). Levine, D. S.; Tilley, T. D.; Andersen, R. A. Organometallics 2015, 34 (19), 4647. Chapter 2. Terminal group 3 methylidene complexes are generated by thermolysis of monoanionic PNP-supported scandium and yttrium dialkyl complexes. The reaction mechanism has been probed by deuterium-labeling experiments and DFT calculations. Abstraction of a γ- hydrogen from one alkyl group by the other affords a metallacyclobutane that undergoes [2+2] cycloreversion, analogous to a key step in the olefin metathesis reaction, to generate a methylidene complex and isobutene.

Direct application of cosmetics on human skin makes it vulnerable to a wide variety of ingredients. Despite the protecting role of skin against exogenous contaminants, some of the ingredients in cosmetic products are able to penetrate the skin and to produce systemic exposure. Consumers’ knowledge of the potential risks of the frequent application of cosmetic products should be improved. While regulations exist in most of the high-income countries, in low income countries of heavy metals are strict. There is a need for enforcement of existing rules, and rigorous assessment of the effectiveness of these regulations. The occurrencethere

  • Crystal Chemistry of Light Metal Borohydrides
    Crystal chemistry of light metal borohydrides Yaroslav Filinchuk*, Dmitry Chernyshov, Vladimir Dmitriev Swiss-Norwegian Beam Lines (SNBL) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), BP-220, 38043 Grenoble, France nd th Abstract. Crystal chemistry of M(BH4)n, where M is a 2 -4 period element, is reviewed. It is shown that except certain cases, the BH4 group has a nearly ideal tetrahedral geometry. Corrections of the experimentally determined H-positions, accounting for the displacement of the electron cloud relative to an average nuclear position and for a libration of the BH4 group, are considered. Recent studies of structural evolution with temperature and pressure are reviewed. Some borohydrides involving less electropositive metals (e.g. Mg and Zn) reveal porous structures and dense interpenetrated frameworks, thus resembling metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Analysis of phase transitions, and the related changes of the coordination geometries for M atoms and BH4 groups, suggests that the directional BH4…M interaction is at the ori- gin of the structural complexity of borohydrides. The ways to influence their stability by chemical modification are dis- cussed. Introduction Borohydrides, also called tetrahydroborates, are largely ionic compounds with a general formula M(BH4)n, consisting of n+ – metal cations M and borohydride anions BH4 . Due to a high weight percent of hydrogen, they are considered as prospective hydrogen storage materials. Indeed, some borohydrides desorb a large quantity of hydrogen (up to 20.8 wt %), although the decompositon temperatures are usually high. The search for better hydrogen storage materials, with denser structures and lower binding energies, has been hampered by a lack of basic knowledge about their structural properties.
