Borane ammonia complex (BH3·NH3), also known as ammonia borane, is a stable, crystalline compound consisting of borane (BH3) and ammonia (NH3). It is notable for its high hydrogen content, making it a potential hydrogen storage material for fuel cells and other energy applications. Ammonia borane releases hydrogen gas upon thermal decomposition, making it an area of interest in research on sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, it is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the reduction of carboxylic acids and amides.
