Synthesis and crystal structure of Li4BH4(NH2)(3)

The solid solution, (LiNH2)(x)(LiBH4)((1-x)), formed through the reaction of the two potential hydrogen storage materials, LiNH2 and LiBH4, is dominated by a compound that has an ideal stoichiometry of Li4BN3H10 and forms a body-centred cubic structure with a lattice constant of ca. 10.66 angstrom.
