Dateset for Zeolite-confined organolanthanide catalysts for C-H borylation of hydrocarbons
This dataset supports a publication, "Trimethylaluminum Activates Zeolite-Confined Lanthanum Borohydrides to Enhance Catalytic C–H Borylation", in the Journal of the American Chemical Society which describes the lanthanum borohydride catalyzed reaction of pinacolborane and aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. The chemical affects of AlMe3 treatment on the precatalyst are explored in detail. The dataset includes characterization of the precatalyst using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray adsorption spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and density functional theory.

A New Complex Borohydride LiAl(BH4)2Cl2
A new mixed alkali metal–aluminum borohydride LiAl(BH4)2Cl2 has been prepared via mechanochemical synthesis from the 2LiBH4–AlCl3 mixture. Structural characterization, performed using a combination of X-ray powder diffraction and solid-state NMR methods, indicates that the LiAl(BH4)2Cl2 phase adopts a unique 3D framework and crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure with the space group C2221, a = 11.6709(6) Å, b = 8.4718(4) Å, c = 7.5114(3) Å. The material shows excellent dehydrogenation characteristics, where hydrogen evolution starts at Tons = 70 °C, releasing approximately 2 wt.% of nearly pure (99.8 vol.%) hydrogen and a very small amount (~0.2 vol.%) of diborane. When compared to halide-free mixed alkali metal–aluminum borohydrides, the presence of Al‒Cl bonding in the LiAl(BH4)2Cl2 structure likely prevents the formation of Al(BH4)3 upon decomposition, thus suppressing the formation of diborane.
