Advance of Dehydrogenation and Transfer Hydrogenation of Ammonia-Borane Catalyzed by Homogeneous Cobalt Complexes

As an ideal chemical hydrogen storage material, efficient dehydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of ammonia borane has attracted increasing attention.Due to the advantages of cheap and easy availability and biocompatibility of earth-abundant metals, the development of homogeneous catalytic dehydrogenation and related transformation of ammonia borane with earth-abundant metals is a significant research topic in this field.Herein, the development of dehydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of ammonia borane catalyzed by homogeneous cobalt complexes is reviewed.
