We report the first solid-state impedance study of hydrogen-rich ammonia borane, AB, and its three alkali metal amidoborane derivatives. Temperature-dependent impedance spectra of solid M(NH2BH3) salts are predominated by ionic conductivity, which at room temperature ranges from 5.5 μS cm−1 (M = Li) to 2.2–3.0 mS cm−1 (Na, Na0.5Li0.5), while the activation energy for conductivity is rather high (140–158 kJ mol−1). Variation of conductivity with time can be used to extract information about the evolution of the system during thermal decomposition. By using a combination of impedance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning calorimetry, evolved gas analysis, infrared absorption spectroscopy as well as 11B and 1H MAS NMR, we were able to reconfirm the complex pathway of thermal decomposition of amidoboranes postulated by two of us earlier (J. Mater. Chem. 2009, 19, 2043).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
