Anions

Tetraperchloratoaluminate

Tetraperchloratoaluminates are salts of the tetraperchloratoaluminate anion, [Al(ClO4)4]−. The anion contains aluminium tetrahedrally surrounded by four perchlorate groups. The perchlorate is covalently bonded to the aluminium, but perchlorate is much more well known as an ion. The covalent bond to aluminium distorts the perchlorate and renders it unstable. Related chemicals are the haloperchloroatoaluminates, where there is one perchloro group attached to aluminium, and three halogens such as chlorine (chloroperchloroatoaluminates) or bromine (bromoperchloroatoaluminates).

Extracting Carbon Tetrachloride from Old Fire Extinguishers

This is a relatively simple way to get carbon tetrachloride. Carbon tet is very expensive and difficult to acquire, this is a much cheaper method to get carbon tet. This carbon tet can be purified further with several other purification methods if a higher quality is desired. Large metal e
