In the presence of an iridium pincer complex, dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (H3NBH3) occurs rapidly at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran to generate 1.0 equivalent of H2 and NH2BH25. A metal borohydride complex has been isolated as a dormant form of the catalyst which can be reactivated by reaction with H2.
