Novel solid-state synthesis of halide free alane

The traditional aluminum hydride (alane, AlH3) synthesis involves reacting AlCl3 and LiAlH4 in diethyl ether, resulting in the formation of the alane etherate adduct, AlH3·h[(C2H5)2O]. The desired crystallized, stable a-AlH3 can only be obtained by either extensive vacuum distillation and heating of...
