Hydrogen from renewable resources monthly progress report

During February, we achieved two significant results in our hydrogen storage activates. Reversible hydrogen uptake and release was measured at room temperature, near ambient pressure on the (IrClH{sub 2}(H{sub 2})Pr{sup i}{sub 3}) complex. Dr. Jensen also observed that certain polyhydzide complexes catalyze the low temperature, reversible dehydrogenation of cycloalkanes to aromatic hydrocarbons at temperatures as low as 130{degrees}C. This discovery may represent a breakthrough in chemical storage of hydrogen as all other cycloalkane dehydrogenation systems require temperatures in excess of 300{degrees}C
