Comment on Structural Stability and Electronic Structure for Li$_3$AlH$_6$

Materials Science 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Density functional calculations of the electronic structure are used to elucidate the bonding of Li3_3AlH6_6. It is found that this material is best described as ionic, and in particular that the [AlH6_6]3^{3-} units are not reasonably viewed as substantially covalent.
