Abstract

The reaction between ammonia and aluminum hydride (AIH3) was investigated as a possible synthetic route to aluminum nitride (AIN), using tetrahydromran (THF) as the solvent. When an excess of ammonia was employed, a white powder was obtained which was converted to AIN by calcination. However, when a stoichiometric amount of ammonia was used, a soluble intermediate was obtained. This intermediate polymerized slowly at room temperature via a condensation reaction involving the elimination of hydrogen to give a gel that could be converted to AIN.
