    Abstract:
    The dimer [(Me3SiCH2)2AsGaPh2]2, obtained from the reaction of (Me3SiCH2)2AsH with Ph3Ga, has been characterized by partial elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, cryoscopic molecular weight determination, and complete single-crystal X-ray analysis. Crystals of the dimer are triclinic, space group P1, with a 10.541(1), b 11.939(1), c 10.539(1) Å, α 99.72(1), β 83.00(1), γ 114.55(1)°, U 1187.1 Å3 and Z = 1. The bond lenghts (GaAs 2.518(1) and GaAs′ 2.530(1) Å) and bond angles (AsGaAs′ 85.08(2) and GaAsGa′ 94.92(2)°) in the centrosymmetric, and consequently planar, four-membered ring indicate a significant degree of strain. © 1986.
