Application

Lithium borohydride is a commonly used reducing agent.[1] It can also be used a reactant for:
  • Preparation of gallium, indium, rhenium and zinc tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)hydroborato complexes.[2]
  • Mechano-chemical metathesis reactions.[3]
  • Noncatalytic hydrolysis for hydrogen generation.[4]
  • Growth of large gold monolayer protected-clusters.[5]
  • Anion substitution reactions.[6]
  • Dehydrogenation reactions.[7]

Reactant for:
  • Preparation of gallium, indium, rhenium and zinc tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)hydroborato complexes
  • Mechano-chemical metathesis reactions
  • Noncatalytic hydrolysis for hydrogen generation
  • Growth of large gold monolayer protected-clusters
  • Anion substitution reactions
  • Dehydrogenation reactions

Other Notes

Material may form precipitate on standing, which does not affect its use.
