The advantages and disadvantages of using organic liquids as hydrogen storage media are discussed. Recent experimental and computational work is presented that shows how the hydrogen release temperature, defined as the temperature where DG° = 0, can be manipulated by the choice of structure. Huge variations in release temperature are found (ca 100 - 900K). Rules of thumb emerge that allow the variation to be rationalized.
