Additional Information N/A Aluminum Fluoride, Anhydrous is a necessary additive for the manufacture of aluminum by electrolysis. Together with cryolite, it drops the melting point to below 1000 ºC and boosts the conductivity of the solution. It is into this molten salt that aluminum oxide is dissolved and then electrolyzed to give bulk Al metal.

Aluminum fluoride complexes are used to research the mechanistic aspects of phosphoryl transfer reactions in biology. They are of fundamental importance to cells, as phosphoric acid anhydrides such as GTP and ATP control most of the reactions involved in metabolism, growth and differentiation. The knowledge that aluminum fluoride can bind to and activate heterotrimeric G proteins has shown to be helpful for the research of G protein activation in vivo, for the elucidation of three-dimensional structures of several GTPases, and for understanding the biochemical mechanism of GTP hydrolysis, including the role of GTPase-activating proteins.
