how can I take aluminum formate and make it to aluminum hydride maybe some how decarboxylation the aluminium formate
some how to get hydrogen to attach to aluminium please helpJJay - 27-12-2016 at 21:36
It is usually made by reacting lithium aluminum hydride with a strong Lewis acid in anhydrous conditions, usually in ether, to remove the lithium.
Sulfuric acid can be used as the acid, as can some other substances, but usually they use aluminum chloride.
I'm not really sure what the reaction between LiAlH4 and aluminum formate would be...zed - 28-12-2016 at 17:39
Alane isn't an easy make. Only a few ways to produce it, and once you have it, it displays solubility/stability problems.

You're thinking of the reaction Al(HCO2)3 --> AlH3 + 3 CO2? I don't have any citations to back this up, but I'd say that reaction doesn't have a
chance of happening.smartgene1 - 29-12-2016 at 09:07
what about with magnesium aluminide or raney nickel and acid what that produce hydride aga - 29-12-2016 at 12:12
