Abstract
Abstract The use of aluminum and gallium hydrides as molecular precursors has been an important development in the field of materials science. Alanes and gallanes have been used in a variety of techniques, such as chemical vapor deposition and solution-based methodologies, to synthesize materials ranging from aluminum thin films to nanocrystalline 13–15 materials. This review is intended to capture the general features of the use of alanes and gallanes in the synthesis of solid state materials.
