Handling & Safety Considerations

⚠️ Highly Reactive & Pyrophoric!

• Water Sensitivity: Reacts violently with water, releasing flammable deuterium gas (D₂).
• Air Sensitivity: Decomposes upon exposure to air, producing lithium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide.
• Handling Precautions:
• Use only in dry, inert atmospheres (glovebox or Schlenk techniques).
• Avoid contact with moisture, acids, and oxidizers.

Storage & Packaging

• Storage Conditions:
• Store in sealed, moisture-proof containers under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen).
• Keep in a cool, dry environment away from ignition sources.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
• Use gloves, protective eyewear, and flame-resistant lab coats.
• Handle in an inert gas atmosphere with explosion-proof equipment.

Lithium Aluminium Deuteride (LiAlD₄) is a deuterated analog of lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH₄), widely used as a selective reducing agent in organic synthesis. It plays a crucial role in the production of deuterated compounds, which are essential in pharmaceutical research, isotopic labeling, and NMR spectroscopy. LiAlD₄ is a highly reactive and moisture-sensitive solid, requiring careful handling under inert conditions.
