Structural insight into the magnesium borohydride - ethylenediamine solid-state Mg-ion electrolyte system.

A highly complex crystal structure of stoichiometric Mg()(BH) was solved from single crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction and confirmed by neutron powder diffraction (NPD) on isotopically substituted Mg()(BD). We highlight the role of the amorphous Mg(BH) in the reactivity of the Mg(BH)- system and characterized a previously overlooked phase, Mg()(BH).
