Abstract
This work offers a comprehensive and fresh perspective on the bonding evolution theory (BET) framework, originally proposed by Silvi and collaborators [X. Krokidis, S. Noury and B. Silvi, Characterization of elementary chemical processes by catastrophe theory, J. Phys. Chem. A, 1997, 101, 7277-7282]. By underscoring Thom's foundational work, we identify the parametric function characterizing bonding events along a reaction pathway through a three-step sequence to establish such association rigorously, namely: (a) computing the determinant of the Hessian matrix at all potentially degenerate critical points, (b) computing the relative distance between these points, and (c) assigning the unfolding based on these computations and considering the maximum number of critical points for each unfolding. In-depth examination of the ammonia inversion and the dissociation of ethane and ammonia borane molecules yields a striking discovery: no elliptic umbilic flag is detected along the reactive coordinate for any of the systems, contradicting previous reports. Our findings indicate that the core mechanisms of these chemical reactions can be understood using only two folds, the simplest polynomial of Thom's theory, leading to considerable simplification. In contrast to previous reports, no signatures of the elliptic umbilic unfolding were detected in any of the systems examined. This finding dramatically simplifies the topological rationalization of electron rearrangements within the BET framework, opening new approaches for investigating complex reactions.

Abstract
The high-pressure phase of ammonia borane (NH3BH3) observed at ∼1.2 GPa has been reported to result in pressure-induced formation of dihydrogen bonds at ∼4 GPa. In this study, we performed high-pressure x-ray diffraction measurements on the high-pressure phase (up to ∼10.2 GPa) using a He hydrostatic pressure medium to examine the influence of the formation of dihydrogen bonds on the lattice parameters and unit cell volume of NH3BH3. We observed a unique behavior in the pressure dependence of lattice parameters close to the pressure at which the dihydrogen bond was formed. The lattice parameters demonstrated hysteresis curves under compression and decompression conditions but the unit cell volume did not. Moreover, the pressure dependence of the unit cell volume could not be expressed using a single Birch-Murnaghan equation within an acceptable margin of error, thus suggesting a change in bulk modulus under compression. These results are considered to have originated from the pressure-induced formation of dihydrogen bonds. Moreover, high-pressure Raman scattering measurements and a simulation using density functional theory calculations revealed the vibrational modes of the high-pressure phase of NH3BH3. The results demonstrated that librational modes were enhanced by forming dihydrogen bonds. Moreover, the intramolecular stretching modes of BN, BH, and NH monotonically shifted with pressure, while the symmetrical in-plane bending modes of BH3 and NH3 split irrespective of the formation of dihydrogen bonds.

Abstract
We have investigated the photoionization of ammonia borane (AB) and determined adiabatic ionization energy to be 9.26±0.03 eV for the X+ 2E←X 1A1 transition. Although the threshold photoelectron spectrum appears at first glance to be similar to the one of the isosteric ethane, the electronic situation differs markedly, due to different orbital energies. In addition, an appearance energy AE0K(NH3BH3, NH3BH2+)= 10.00±0.03 eV has been determined, corresponding to the loss of a hydrogen atom at the BH3‐site. From the data, a 0 K bond dissociation energy for the B−H bond in the cation of 71.5±3 kJ mol−1 was derived, whereas the one in the neutral compound has been estimated to be 419±10 kJ mol−1.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (NH3BH3) has long attracted considerable interest for its high hydrogen content and easy dehydrogenation conditions which make it a promising hydrogen storage material. Here, we report on a computational study of the structural stability and phase transition sequence of NH3BH3 and associated lattice dynamics and electronic properties in a wide pressure range up to 300 GPa. The results confirm previously reported structures, including the experimentally observed orthorhombic Pmn21 structure at low temperature and ambient pressure, and predict the phase transition sequence Pmn21 → Pc → P21 → P1̅ for NH3BH3. Our calculations also reveal systematic trends of monotonically decreasing band gap with rising pressure in the three high-pressure NH3BH3 phases, which nevertheless all remain nonconducting up to the highest pressure of 300 GPa examined in this work. The present findings elucidate structural and electronic properties of NH3BH3 over an extensive pressure range, providing knowledge essential to further study of NH3BH3 in an expanded pressure-temperature phase space.

Abstract
High-pressure X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses of an ambient-pressure phase (AP) and two high-pressure phases (HP1 and HP2) of ammonia borane (i.e., NH3BH3 and ND3BD3) were conducted to investigate the relationship between their crystal structures and dihydrogen bonds. It was confirmed that the hydrogen atoms in AP formed dihydrogen bonds between adjacent molecules, and the H-H distance between the hydrogen atoms forming this interaction was shorter than 2.4 Å, which was nearly 2 times larger than the van der Waals radius of hydrogen. In the case of half of the hydrogen bonds, a phase transition from AP to the first high-pressure phase (HP1) at ∼1.2 GPa resulted in an increase in the H-H distances, which suggested that the dihydrogen bonds were broken. However, when HP1 was further pressurized to ∼4 GPa, all of the H-H distances became shorter than 2.4 Å again, which implied the occurrence of pressure-induced re-formation of the dihydrogen bonds. It was speculated that the re-formation was consistent with a second-order phase transition suggested in previous studies by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurement. Furthermore, at ∼11 GPa, HP1 transformed to the second high-pressure phase (HP2), and its structure was determined to be P21 (Z = 2). In this phase transition, the inclination of the molecule axis became larger, and the number of types of dihydrogen bonds increased from 6 to 11. At 18.9 GPa, which was close to the upper pressure limit of HP2, the shortest dihydrogen bond decreased to ∼1.65 Å. Additionally, the X-ray diffraction results suggested another phase transition to the third high-pressure phase (HP3) at ∼20 GPa. The outcomes of this study confirmed experimentally for the first time that the structural change under pressure causes the breakage and re-formation of the dihydrogen bonds of NH3BH3.

Abstract
The molecular structure of morpholine borane complex has been studied in the solid state and gas phase using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, gas electron diffraction, and computational methods. Despite both the solid-state and gas-phase structures adopting the same conformation, a definite decrease in the B–N bond length of the solid-state structure was observed. Other structural variations in the different phases are presented and discussed. To explore the hydrogen storage potential of morpholine borane, the potential energy surface for the uncatalyzed and BH3-catalyzed pathways, as well as the thermochemistry for the hydrogen release reaction, were investigated using accurate quantum chemical methods. It was observed that both the catalyzed and uncatalyzed dehydrogenation pathways are favourable, with a barrier lower than the B–N bond dissociation energy, thus indicating a strong propensity for the complex to release a hydrogen molecule rather than dissociate along the B–N bond axis. A minimal energy requirement for the dehydrogenation reaction has been shown. The reaction is close to thermoneutral as demonstrated by the calculated dehydrogenation reaction energies, thus implying that this complex could demonstrate potential for future on-board hydrogen generation.

Abstract
Dimers of borazine were studied using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and ab initio quantum chemical calculations. Computations were performed at the MP2 and M06-2X levels of theory using the 6-311++G(d,p) and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets for the various homodimers. At both levels of theory, an aligned stacked structure was found to be the global minimum, which was nearly isoenergetic to a parallel displaced structure. A T-shaped structure, where the N-H of one borazine pointed towards the N of the second borazine, was found to be a local minimum. In addition to these structures, a dihydrogen bonded structure, where the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen of borazine interacted with the hydrogen attached to the boron atom of another borazine, was also indicated. Experimentally, we observed the T-shaped dimer and the dihydrogen bonded dimer. This is one of the rare examples of experimental evidence for a dihydrogen bond, in a system other than in a metal hydride. These results for the borazine dimer were clearly different from the benzene dimer where the parallel displaced structure was found to be the global minimum followed by the T-shaped structure at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. AIM, EDA and NBO analyses were carried out for all the structures to explore the nature of interactions.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions are crucial for many physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. Matrix isolation is a powerful method to study noncovalent interactions, including hydrogen-bonded species, and it has been extensively used in this field. However, there are difficult situations, such as in the case of species that are impossible to prepare in the gas phase. In this article, we describe some advanced approaches allowing studies of complexes that are problematic for the traditional methods. Photolysis of a suitable precursor in a matrix can lead to a large concentration of 1:1 complexes, which are otherwise very difficult to prepare (e.g., the H2O···O complex). Photolysis of species combined with annealing can lead to complexes of molecules with mobile atoms (e.g., the same H2O···O complex). Simultaneous photolysis of two species combined with annealing can produce complexes of radicals via reactions of the photogenerated complexes with mobile atoms (e.g., the H2O···HCO complex). Interaction of noble-gas (Ng) hydrides with other species is another topic (e.g., the N2···HArF complex) and very large blue shifts of the H-Ng stretching modes are normally observed for these systems. Complexes and dimers of the higher-energy conformer of formic acid have been prepared by using selective vibrational excitation of the ground-state conformer. The higher-energy conformer of formic acid can be efficiently stabilized in the complexes with strong hydrogen bonding. We also consider some problematic cases when the changes in the vibrational frequencies of the 1:1 complexes are very small (e.g., the phenol···Xe complex) and when the complex formation is prevented by strong solvation in the matrix (e.g., species in solid xenon).

Abstract
One of the major obstacles to the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier is the lack of proper hydrogen storage material. Lithium amidoborane has attracted significant attention as hydrogen storage material. It releases ∼10.9 wt% hydrogen, which is beyond the Department of Energy target, at remarkably low temperature (∼90 °C) without borazine emission. It is essential to study the bonding behavior of this potential material to improve its dehydrogenation behavior further and also to make rehydrogenation possible. We have studied the high-pressure behavior of lithium amidoborane in a diamond anvil cell using in situ Raman spectroscopy. We have discovered that there is no dihydrogen bonding in this material, as the N-H stretching modes do not show redshift with pressure. The absence of the dihydrogen bonding in this material is an interesting phenomenon, as the dihydrogen bonding is the dominant bonding feature in its parent compound ammonia borane. This observation may provide guidance to the improvement of the hydrogen storage properties of this potential material and to design new material for hydrogen storage application. Also two phase transitions were found at high pressure at 3.9 and 12.7 GPa, which are characterized by sequential changes of Raman modes.

Abstract
In today's era of energy crisis and global warming, hydrogen has been projected as a sustainable alternative to depleting CO(2)-emitting fossil fuels. However, its deployment as an energy source is impeded by many issues, one of the most important being storage. Chemical hydrogen storage materials, in particular B-N compounds such as ammonia borane, with a potential storage capacity of 19.6 wt % H(2) and 0.145 kg(H2)L(-1), have been intensively studied from the standpoint of addressing the storage issues. Ammonia borane undergoes dehydrogenation through hydrolysis at room temperature in the presence of a catalyst, but its practical implementation is hindered by several problems affecting all of the chemical compounds in the reaction scheme, including ammonia borane, water, borate byproducts, and hydrogen. In this Minireview, we exhaustively survey the state of the art, discuss the fundamental problems, and, where applicable, propose solutions with the prospect of technological applications.

Abstract
Pressure-induced structural transformations of the ammonia borane complex (NH3·BH3) were investigated in diamond anvil cells by Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron IR spectroscopy up to 14 GPa at room temperature. Starting with a disordered tetragonal structure, NH3·BH3 is found to undergo several transformations upon compression as monitored by in situ Raman measurements. These transformations are indicated by the sequential changes of characteristic Raman modes as well as by the pressure dependence of these modes. Synchrotron IR absorption spectroscopy provided supplementary and consistent information about the structural evolution of NH3·BH3 under compression. Decompression measurements on NH3·BH3 suggest the pressure-induced transformations are reversible in the entire pressure region. The combined Raman and IR data allowed analysis of possible high-pressure structures of NH3·BH3. Our study significantly complements previous high-pressure Raman studies by providing new information on the structures and stabilities of NH3·BH3.
