Chelated lithium aluminum compounds

摘要

Chelated lithium aluminum compounds are prepared by mixing a lithium aluminum compound such as a lithium aluminum hydride with a chelating agent wherein the agent contains at least one nitrogen atom. The chelating agent is a tertiary polyamine or aminoether. The resultant chelate is used for a variety of processes such as separations, catalytic reactions, substitution reactions, reductions, electrochemical reactions, and also as an oil and fuel additive.
