Hydroxyaluminium(I), also known as Aluminium(I) hydroxide, is an inorganic chemical with molecular formula AlOH. It consists of aluminium in the +1 oxidation state paired with a single hydroxide. It has been detected as a molecular substance in the envelope of an oxygen-rich red supergiant star, a place where substances containing metals or hydroxides are thought to be rare.[2]

Production[edit]

In the laboratory AlOH can be made by heating aluminium, so that it vapourises into low pressure hydrogen peroxide vapour.[3] Another method is to condense a mixture of aluminium vapour, hydrogen and oxygen with argon into a solid at 10K. Along with AlOH, there are also Al(OH)2, Al(OH)3, HAl(OH)2, cyc-AlO2 and AlOAl molecules formed.[4]

Properties[edit]

The bond lengths are, Al-O 1.682 Å, and for O-H 0.878 Å.[3] The rotational constants are B0=15,740.2476 MHz and D0=0.02481 MHz.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
