Digallane
Chemical compound
Digallane (systematically named digallane(6)) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula GaH2(H)2GaH2 (also written [{GaH2(μ-H)}2] or [Ga2H6]). It is the dimer of the monomeric compound gallane. The eventual preparation of the pure compound, reported in 1989,[1][2] was hailed as a "tour de force."[3] Digallane had been reported as early as 1941 by Wiberg;[4] however, this claim could not be verified by later work by Greenwood and others.[5] This compound is a colorless gas that decomposes above 0 °C.
