The invention relates to the technical field of
hydrogen storage of organic
aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, in particular to a derivative of a
benzopyrrole compound, a preparation method and application of the derivative, a
hydrogen storage method and a
hydrogen release method. The chemical
structural formula of the derivative is selected from one of M1, M2, M3, M4, M5R and M5S, wherein when the chemical
structural formula of the derivative is M1, M2, M3, M5R or M5S, A is selected from a saturated
alkyl chain with the
carbon number of 1-6 or an unsaturated
alkyl chain with the
carbon number of 2-6; when the chemical
structural formula of the derivative is M4, A is selected from a saturated
alkyl chain with the
carbon number of 1-6, an unsaturated alkyl chain with the carbon number of 2-6 or
boron. Compared with azacyclo-organic
molecular materials (carbazoles and indoles) which exist in the field of organic
hydrogen storage and are massively researched, the azacyclo-aromatic organic molecular material containing the double
nitrogen atoms, which can generate a bridging structure between the double
nitrogen atoms and can be used for
hydrogen storage, is provided for the first time; and the material is large in
hydrogen storage capacity and low in
melting point.
