Is there an analytic result for the exponential of a symmetric, tridiagonal matrix (the diagonal can be zero, if this helps). Moreover, if it simplifies the result, the $alpha$'s matrices can be (asymmetric) banded.
Here is an example of such a matrix:
$$begin{bmatrix} 0 & alpha_2 & & & \
alpha_2 & 0 & alpha_3 & & & \
& & ddots & & \
& & alpha_{n-1} & 0 & alpha_n \
& & & alpha_n & 0
end{bmatrix}$$
I am aware that there are numerical means to do this (more or less accurate), e.g. most notably the software package EXPOKIT.

What does 'purely complex' mean? The above appears to be purely imaginary.

I'm not sure I understand your notation, but what's wrong with $(I cosh alpha_2+sigma_1sinhalpha_2)oplus ... oplus (I cosh alpha_n+sigma_1sinhalpha_n)$, where $sigma_1 = begin{pmatrix} 0&1\ 1&0 end{pmatrix}$ is the usual Pauli matrix?
