I have added some basic stuff re monomer, dimer, structure, Lewis acid properties, possible application of adducts in MOCVD. However this article IMHO is still a way off A class.
On a point of detail I am not happy with the battery reference - it is nigh on 30 years old and I would be surprised if alane was still a candidate for H₂ storage. Perhaps someone could confirm this.Axiosaurus (talk) 15:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i'm just thrilled it's gotten this far. I started it with about 3 sentences. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis

It says that the "dissolving process of aluminium trichloride requires the addition of 0.5-4 mol equivalents of borohydride salt, which is very expensive and not recovered"... That doesn't make any sense. First I don't understand why a borohydride salt would be needed, and secondly borohydrides are not expensive. In fact sodium borohydride is much much cheaper than the lithium aluminumhydride needed in the reaction.130.225.102.1 (talk) 12:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed reorg

"Alane" means many things. So I propose to develop section on "structure", which will describe:

gaseous molecular forms
solution forms (adduct, really)
solid, which has several polymorphs

Alane received some attention for H2 storage, but that idea has been abandoned. Its use in organic chemistry is well summarized in the eEROS article. Even these reactions are pretty obscure. Possibly we could develop an article on "aluminium hydrides", which would be a list of hydrides or we could have such a list in organoaluminium compounds.--Smokefoot (talk) 15:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
