Description

Thermal transformations of lithium hydroaluminates LiAlH4 and Li3AlH6 have been studied. Experimental proofs of metastable melting preceding LiAlH4 decomposition are presented. A new concept of Li3AlH6 formation mechanism during LiAlH4 heating, as a restructuring of tetrahedral surrounding of aluminium atom in molten LiAlH4 into octahedral one with isolation of 2/3 of aluminium and half of hydrogen, is made. 23 refs.; 4 figs.; 2 tabs
