In the presence of an iridium pincer complex, dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (H<sub>3</sub>NBH<sub>3</sub>) occurs rapidly at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran to generate 1.0 equivalent of H<sub>2</sub> and [NH<sub>2</sub>BH<sub>2</sub>]<sub>5</sub>. A metal borohydride complex has been isolated as a dormant form of the catalyst which can be reactivated by reaction with H<sub>2</sub>.
