Uranium borohydride is the inorganic compound with the empirical formula U(BH4)4. Two polymeric forms are known, as well as a monomeric derivative that...

informed that there was no longer a need for uranium borohydride, but it appeared that sodium borohydride could be useful in generating hydrogen. They began...

Alternatively, a small amount of diborane product can be added to form lithium borohydride, which will react with the BF3 to produce more diborane, making the reaction...

in vacuum. Although not performed industrially, hydrolysis of sodium borohydride Na[BH4] with a suitable catalyst gives sodium metaborate and hydrogen...
