Releasing hydrogen : Aminophosphine complexes of rhodium are excellent systems for the hydrolysis of H 3 NBH 3 . The release of H 2 in THF/H 2 O mixtures generates NH 3 and B(OH) 3 and is based on the sequential catalytic dehydrogenation of H 3 NBH 3− n (OH) n and hydrolysis of H 2 NBH 2− n (OH) n ( n =0–2, see scheme).
