The Oxidation Products of Aluminum Hydride and Boron Aluminum Hydride Clusters

Abstract

Reactions of both Aluminum Hydride Cluster Anions and Boron Aluminum Hydride Cluster Anions with Oxygen: Anionic Products. The anionic products of reactions between aluminum hydride cluster anions and oxygen and between boron aluminum hydride cluster anions and oxygen were identified by mass spectrometry. While aluminum oxide anions dominated the products of both reactions, low intensities of hydrogen-containing aluminum oxide product anions were also observed in both cases. Surprisingly, in the reactions between boron aluminum hydride cluster anions and oxygen, there was scant evidence for boron-containing anionic products
