Isn't Aluminate AlO33-?
At least, that's what my Chemistry taught me when we went over polyatomic ions.
I see a lot of references in the literature to a "Barium Aluminate" that's used as a gas absorber in vacuum tubes. Apparently the barium on the surface binds with stray oxygen atoms, then the aluminum steals them, refreshing the surface for more absorption. There is no page for "barium aluminate", and I can't find a reference to the chemical formula for it. Anyone got a good reference?
