Novel methods for synthesizing halide-free alane without the formation of adducts

Many of the current synthesis methods for aluminium hydride (alane—AlH3) involve reacting AlCl3 and LiAlH4 in solvents. The reaction requires the formation of an alane adduct such as AlH3•[(C2H5)2O] prior to obtaining crystallized stable a-AlH3. This process requires several hours of pumping in a va...
