New catalysis studies of hydrogen release from ammonia-borane, NH3BH3, metal amidoborane, MNH2BH3 (M = Li, Na), and metal borohydride ammoniate complexes, M'(BH4)3(NH3)4 (M' = Y, La, Ce,) will be summarized. Computational techniques are then combined with isotope labeling and spectroscopic observations to elucidate the diverse reaction pathways. Finally, we identify remaining technical barriers to implementation of B-N compounds as high-capacity H2 storage media.
