Chemical Bonding of AlH3 Hydride by Al-L2,3 Electron Energy-Loss Spectra and First-Principles Calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a previous study, we used transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss (EEL) spectroscopy to investigate dehydrogenation of AlH₃ particles. In the present study, we systematically examine differences in the chemical bonding states of Al-containing compounds (including AlH₃) by comparing their Al-L2,3 EEL spectra. The spectral chemical shift and the fine peak structure of the spectra were consistent with the degree of covalent bonding of Al. This finding will be useful for future nanoscale analysis of AlH₃ dehydrogenation toward the cell.

Photoelectron spectroscopy of the aluminum hydride anions: AlH2(-), AlH3(-), Al2H6(-), Al3H9(-), and Al4H12(-).
We report measurements of the negative ion photoelectron spectra of the simple aluminum hydride anions: AlH2(-), AlH3(-), Al2H6(-), Al3H9(-), and Al4H12(-). From these spectra, we measured the vertical detachment energies of the anions, and we estimated the electron affinities of their neutral counterparts. Our results for AlH2(-), AlH3(-), and Al2H6(-) were also compared with previous predicti...

The AlH3 adducts of TMEDA (Me2NCH2CH2NMe2), DIOX (O(CH2CH2)2O), TEA (Et3N), BDMA (PhNMe2), and TMPDA (Me2NCH2CH2CH2NMe2) have each been characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at low temperature, by (1)H, (14)N and (27)Al NMR and FT-Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy, and by DFT calculations and elemental analysis. Hence, AlH3·TMEDA and AlH3·DIOX are both shown to adopt a polymeric structur...
متن کاملSolid State NMR Studies of the Aluminum Hydride Phases
Several solid state NMR techniques including magic-angle-spinning (MAS) and multiple-quantum (MQ) MAS experiments have been used to characterize various AlH3 samples. MAS-NMR spectra for the H and Al nuclei have been obtained on a variety of AlH3 samples that include the βand γ-phases as well as the most stable α-phase. While the dominant components in these NMR spectra correspond to the alumin...
