Abstract
A review of the chemistry of the tetrafluoroaluminate anion is presented. The uses, synthesis, characterization, and biological action of AlF4- are examined. Aluminum fluoride complexes, especially tetrafluoroaluminate, stimulate various guanosine nucleotide binding proteins (G-proteins), and inhibit P-type ATPases. Tetrafluoroaluminate complexes serve as precursors to aluminum trifluoride, which is used as a solid state catalyst for chlorofluorocarbon isomerizations and fluorinations.
