Rocheleau, R E

During February, we achieved two significant results in our hydrogen storage activates. Reversible hydrogen uptake and release was measured at room temperature, near ambient pressure on the (IrClH{sub 2}(H{sub 2})Pr{sup i}{sub 3}) complex. Dr. Jensen also observed that certain polyhydzide complexes catalyze the low temperature, reversible dehydrogenation of cycloalkanes to aromatic hydrocarbons at temperatures as low as 130{degrees}C. This discovery may represent a breakthrough in chemical storage of hydrogen as all other cycloalkane dehydrogenation systems require temperatures in excess of 300{degrees}C.
