A hydridoirida-beta-diketone as an efficient and robust homogeneous catalyst for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane or amine-borane adducts in air to produce hydrogen.
The first homogeneous metal-catalysed hydrolysis of ammonia-borane or amine-borane adducts for hydrogen generation, using a stable organometallic complex [IrHCl{(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)H}], is reported.
