Notes:
Ab initio computations have been performed on the compounds AlH2BH4 and AlH2C3H5 in order to achieve a better understanding of the peculiar characteristics of the metal to ligand bond. Our results suggest a bidentate coordination for the tetrahydroborate complex and an η3 coordination for the allyl complex. Due to the nonrigidity of the BH4- and allyl complexes, possible interconversion paths between different coordination modes have also been analyzed.
