Abstract

Abstract In this work, we compare different precursor approaches for the mild decomposition to copper–aluminum and–gallium powder materials in nonaqueous solution. Referring to previous work on the preparation of Cu–Al alloy materials from [(AlCp*) 4] and [CpCu (PMe 3)], the amine-stabilized metal trihydrides [(Me 3 N) AlH 3] and [(quinuclidine) GaH 3] were used as alternative sources for Al and Ga. In a comparative study,[(Me 3 N) AlH 3] and [( ...
