The present disclosure relates to processes and methods of generating hydrogen via the dehydrocoupling of amine boranes using ligand-stabilized homogenous metal catalysts. The amine-borane is shown by the formula (I), RRN&#x2014;BHRR. A process is also shown for the preparation of a linear, branched or cyclic polymer which comprises a repeating unit of the formula (II), &#x2014;[RRN&#x2014;BRR]-n, by reacting HRRN&#x2014;BHRRin the presence of at least one ligand-stabilized metal catalyst.

Method for the production of hydrogen from the dehydrocoupling of amine boranes

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a metal catalyst comprising at least one ligand that is coordinated to the metal through at least one phosphorous (P) atom and at least one nitrogen (N) atom, the method comprising reacting a metal pre-cursor complex with an acid addition salt of an aminophosphine, diaminophosphine, aminodiphosphine or diaminodiphosphine, in the presence of a base.

Method for preparing a metal catalyst

The present disclosure relates to processes and methods of generating hydrogen via the hydrolysis or solvolyis of a compound of the formula (I), RRHNBHRR, using ligand-stabilized homogeneous metal catalysts.
