alane
alane
English
Noun
alane (plural alanes)
- (inorganic chemistry) aluminium hydride, AlH3
- (organic chemistry) Any organic derivative of this compound
Usage notes
- This is the current IUPAC name, but is to be replaced by alumane because the systematically derived name of the -AlH2 group would be alanyl which is already used as a derivative of alanine.
