Hexaperchloratoaluminates can be synthesized by combining aluminum trichloride and various perchlorates in liquid sulfur dioxide at a temperature of –10°C:2
To form hexaperchloratoaluminates, one can heat aluminium nitrate in the presence of nitrosonium or nitronium perchlorate at a temperature of 125 °C: 3
Obtaining hydrazinium hexaperchloratoaluminate in a highly pure form is problematic. According to the available studies, this compound can only be produced via a low-yielding synthesis route including the reaction of aluminium chloride, hydrazinium perchlorate, and nitronium perchlorate:4
Guanidinium hexaperchloratoaluminate can be synthesized via the following reaction:5
