Conventional metal hydrides

It is clear that conventional metal hydride hydrogen storage is not a feasible option for storage of land or air vehicle propulsion fuel. However, metal hydride hydrogen storage has been successfully employed on the German, Class 212, fuel cell-powered submarine, where very long underwater endurance is not required. 

Diastereocontrolled reduction of amino ketones represents an attractive route to amino alcohols, many of which are pharmacologically important, and has been exhaustively reviewed. Even in the case of a-amino ketones, examples of high stereoselectivity were rare with conventional metal hydride reagents, and mixtures were common as the amino group became more distant. In contrast, a-triazolyl ketones (64) were reduced with high stereoselectivity by tetraalkylammonium borohydrides to the syn-alcohols (63) in dichloromethane or to the anti isomers (65) when titanium tetrachloride was added (Scheme 10). ... 

A wide range of materials are currently being considered as hydrogen storage media, including conventional metal hydrides, complex hydrides, chemical hydrides, carbon-based materials, Zeolites, MOFs, clathrates, and so on. In this section, some well-studied hydrogen storage... 

Metal hydrides containing transition metal (TM)-hydrogen complexes, with the transition metal in a formally low oxidation state, are of fundamental interest for clarifying how an electron-rich metal atom can be stabilized without access to the conventional mechanism for relieving the electron density by back-donation to suitable ligand orbitals. By reacting electropositive alkali or alkaline earth metals ( -elements) with group 7, 8, 9, and 10 transition metals in... 

Reactions of highly electron-rich organometalate salts (organocuprates, orga-noborates, Grignard reagents, etc.) and metal hydrides (trialkyltin hydride, triethylsilane, borohydrides, etc.) with cyano-substituted olefins, enones, ketones, carbocations, pyridinium cations, etc. are conventionally formulated as nucleophilic addition reactions. We illustrate the utility of donor/acceptor association and electron-transfer below. 

Perhaps the most depressing fact associated with the consequences of the above division is the lack of consistency often found in treatments of compounds which are essentially isostructural. Take, for instance, the different descriptions of the bonding situation in B2H6 on the one hand, and the isostructural (e.g. AI2CI6) molecules on the other while the latter may be treated by the conventional bonding principles expressed in Hyps. III.l to III.5, the treatment of the former (in terms of 3-centre bonds) breaks with Hyps. III.l to III.4. A similar conclusion is in fact reached in the majority of abnormal cases. Other simple examples are provided by the alkali-metal hydrides (with NaCl-type structure), CuH (with ZnS-wurtzite type structure), etc. These examples are typical in that it is only when a scarcity of electrons and/or orbitals enforces a search for extraordinary bonding principles that Hyps. III.l to III.4 are reluctantly (partly or completely) replaced by alter-... 

Metal hydrides are excellent in storing hydrogen when space is limited. When compared to the conventional high-pressure cylinders, hydrogen stored in a metal hydride occupies... 

The SRNL hybrid microwave concept design is shown in Figure 1. Metal tritide powder is slightly susceptible to conventional microwave frequency, so to obtain the high temperature needed a Silicon Carbide (SiC) susceptor is used to generate the hot temperature. This susceptor is used for all metal hydride materials regardless of the individual susceptibility of the sample.

There are two basic cycles for heat pump operation conventional (15) and temperature upgrading (3, J/[). It is convenient to visualize the operation of these cycles by following the changes in pressure and temperature of each alloy on a Van t Hoff plot. For ease of narration, these curves are idealized. Many engineering properties of metal hydrides must be considered in a detailed explanation (e.g., hysteresis, plateau slope, cyclic stability, etc.). The two cycles are shown in Figure 17. 

The reduction of imines can be performed with zinc powder in 5% aq. NaOH solution without any organic solvents under mild conditions (Tsukinoki et al., 1998). In comparison with other conventional methods, some advantages of this method are the fact that, since the reaction can be done in water at room temperature under atmospheric pressure, it is safe, and that hydrogen gas is not necessary because the proton source is water. Furthermore, Zn powder is cheap compared with metal hydrides, hydrogenation catalyst, and lanthanides, and is not sensitive to oxygen and water.
