Mechanochemical reactivity inhibited, prohibited and reversed by liquid additives: examples from crystal-form screens
We demonstrate that liquid additives can exert inhibitive or prohibitive effects on the mechanochemical formation of multi-component molecular crystals, and report that certain additives unexpectedly prompt the dismantling of such solids into physical mixtures of their constituents. Computational methods were employed in an attempt to identify possible reasons for these previously unrecognised effects of liquid additives on mechanochemical transformations
Ca(BH4)2–Mg2NiH4: on the pathway to a Ca(BH4)2 system with a reversible hydrogen cycle
The hydride composite Ca(BH4)2–Mg2NiH4 transfers all boron to MgNi2.5B2 upon dehydrogenation, avoiding boron sinks. The rehydrogenation to Ca(BH4)2 was confirmed
