Abstract
The solid-state structure of ammonia borane is held together by an intricate N-H···H-B proton-hydride bonding network. These intermolecular interactions have long been considered to mediate the release of hydrogen from this material. Here we reveal the silent but important role played by B-H···H-B interactions in the thermal decomposition of this leading hydrogen storage candidate.
