In situ thermodiffraction was used to study N2H4BH3, NaN2H3BH3 and LiN2H3BH3.
Thermolytic dehydrogenation of N2H4BH3 starts with the liquid phase.
Dehydrocoupling of N2H4BH3 involves a crystalline intermediate at 90–197 °C.
NaN2H3BH3 forms from −38 °C, melts at ∼60 °C, and decomposes at >60 °C.
The 2 polymorphs of LiN2H3BH3 dehydrogenate according to a complex mechanism.
