Abstract

Methylamine borane and dimethylamine borane have been studied under compression to 3 GPa using Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. Both undergo reversible pressure-induced structural changes in this pressure range. The structural changes in the case of methylamine borane may be indicative of a second-order phase transition, taking place between ca. 0.8-1.2 GPa, which does not result in a change of spacegroup symmetry. In the case of dimethylamine borane, however, a reversible, reconstructive phase transition (monoclinic → orthorhombic) occurs below 0.7 GPa. This new high-pressure phase was successfully indexed, with a possible space group assignment of Pccn or Pbcn.
