САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

It is known that the “superalkali” cluster Li₂F can significantly improve the hydrogen storage capabilities in carbon materials; boron compounds play a similar role. However, the possibility of interactions of lithium fluoride clusters with boron and hydrogen has not been investigated so far. In this work, a laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) was used for this purpose. Preliminary results showed that the interaction between the “superalkali” Li₃F cluster, boron and six hydrogen atoms is possible; the ion Li₃FBH₆⁺ was detected. Non-stoichiometric clusters of lithium fluoride can also combine with boron and hydrogen in the following manner: Li₅F₂BH₅⁺ Li₅F₃BH₂⁺ Li₄F₅BH₄⁺ Li₆F₂B₆H⁺, and Li₈F₆H⁺.
