Thermal decomposition of magnesium borohydride, Mg(BH4)(2), in the solid state was studied by a combination of PCT, TGA/MS and NMR spectroscopy. Dehydrogenation of Mg(BH4)(2) at 200 degrees C en vacuo results in the highly selective formation of magnesium triborane, Mg(B3H8)(2). This process is reversible at 250 degrees C under 120 atm H-2. Dehydrogenation at higher temperature, > 300 degrees C under a constant argon flow of 1 atm, produces a complex mixture of polyborane species. A borohydride condensation mechanism involving metal hydride formation is proposed.
