Abstract
We describe the synthesis of MeH2N–BH2Me (3) and H3N–BH2Me (4) as potential hydrogen storage materials with 6.8 wt-% and 8.9 wt-% capacity, respectively. Compounds 3 and 4 readily release 2 equivalents of H2 at 80°C in the presence of a CoCl2 catalyst to furnish the corresponding trimerized borazine derivatives. Regeneration of 3 from its spent fuel material can be accomplished using a simple two-step process: activation with formic acid followed by reduction with LiAlH4.

[16] Treatment of 5 directly with LiAlH4 without pretreatment with formic acid was not sufficient to break the ring; only unreacted starting material was recovered.
