37. We deduce from our survey calculations that the heat of formation for the second-step reaction in Eq. 1, Li2 NH+ H2 -LiN H2 +LiH, is about -70 kJ mol H2, which is in fairly good agreement with the recent experimental value of -60 kJ mol H2 [W. Luo, J. Alloys Compd. JALCEU 0925-8388 10.1016/j.jallcom.2004.10.017 385, 316 (2004)].
