Monochlorogallane: synthesis, properties, and structure of the dimer H2Ga(µ-Cl)2GaH2 in the gas phase as determined by electron diffraction
Abstract
Monochlorogallane, synthesised by metathesis involving gallium(III) chloride and trimethylsilane, has been characterised by its spectroscopic and chemical properties; electron diffraction has established the structure of the dimer H2Ga(µ-Cl)2GaH2, the predominant vapour species at low pressure.
