- Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) is a chemical compound used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis .
- Its molecular weight is 37.95 g/mol and its molecular formula is Li[AlH4] .
- Its structure consists of a tetrahedral aluminium atom surrounded by four hydride ligands .
- Its melting point is 150 °C, but it decomposes before reaching this temperature .
- Its appearance is a white solid, but commercial samples are usually gray due to impurities .
- It reacts violently with water, producing hydrogen gas and heat . It should be handled in dry and inert conditions .
- It is used to reduce esters, carboxylic acids, amides, and other functional groups to alcohols, alkanes, and amines .
- It is also a potential material for hydrogen storage, due to its high hydrogen content and low decomposition temperature .
