| Chemical Properties: | The aluminum alkyl halides are flammable, reactive, and may be spontaneously combustible in air. They are colorless to yellow liquids. Ethylaluminum dichloride:(563-43-9): |
| General Description | :Colorless liquid. Dangerous fire and explosion hazard. Used as an intermediate in production of organometallics. |
| Air & Water Reactionsï¼› | Pyroric in air [Hawley]. Reacts violently with water, Rose(1961). |
| Reactivity Profile： | Organometallics, such as DIETHYLALUMINUM CHLORIDE, are reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents. Often reactive with water to generate mable gases. Organometallics containing halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) bonded to the metal typically with generate gaseous hydrohalic acids (HF, HCl, HBr, HI) with water. |
| Potential Exposure | ：These materials are used as components of olefin polymerization catalysts. The reader is referred to the entry on “Aluminum alkyls†for additional information on this entry. The aluminum alkyl halides parallel very closely the aluminum alkyls |
| Shipping： | UN3052 Spontaneously combustible. Water reactive releasing large quantities of dly hydrogen gas. (Note: this does not appear in the 49/CFR HazMat tables) |
| Purification Methods： | Distil it from excess dry NaCl (to remove ethyl aluminium dichloride) in a 50-cm column containing a heated nichrome spiral. [Beilstein 4 IV 4403.] |
| Incompatibilities： | The aluminum alkyl halides are strong reducing agents; they react—possibly violently—with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkarials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. These chemicals react violently with nitromethaneEthylaluminum sesquichloride reacts explosively with carbon tetrachloride at room temperature. This chemical reacts violently with water, forming corrosive hydrogen chloride and flammable ethane gas. Diethylaluminum chloride may form an explosive product with chlorine azide. |
