Ruthenium deposited on MCM-41 as efficient catalyst for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane and methylamine borane

Ultrafine Ru nanoparticles have been successfully deposited on MCM-41 by using a simple liquid impregnation method. The 1.12wt% Ru/MCM-41 exhibit the highest catalytic activity, with the turnover frequency value of 288min−1 toward catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane.
