Global InformationHexaperchloratoaluminate information
The hexaperchloratoaluminate ion is a polyatomic anion with the chemical formula [Al(ClO4)6]3−. It is composed of six perchlorate (ClO−4) anions bound to a central aluminium ion (Al3+), resulting in a net charge of –3. This ion is a highly oxidizing and reactive complex, similar to other hexacoordinate aluminium complexes such as hexanitratoaluminate.
The aluminium perchlorate salts formed with hexaperchloratoaluminate are of particular interest due to their potential uses as energetic materials. The series of hexaperchloratoaluminate salts includes lithium hexaperchloratoaluminate, ammonium hexaperchloratoaluminate, tetramethylammonium hexaperchloratoaluminate, and trinitronium hexaperchloratoaluminate. Each of these compounds possess unique properties and may have potential applications in areas such as rocket propellants, pyrotechnics, and other explosive-based technologies.[1]
