The synthesis and properties of dimethylgallane: structure of the dimer Me2Ga(µ-H)2GaMe2 in the gas phase as determined by electron diffraction
Abstract
Dimethylgallane, best synthesised by the reaction between trimethylgallane and sodium tetrahydrogallate, has been characterised by its spectroscopic and chemical properties; electron diffraction has established the structure of the dimer Me2Ga(µ-H)2GaMe2, the predominant vapour species at low pressure.
