Synthesis and characterization of an air-stable gallium hydride, [t-Bu(H)Ga(mu-NEt (sub)2)] (sub)2, and related chloride derivatives

Research has been conducted on the sterically bulky, dimeric diethylamido-bridged gallium hydride. The synthesis of this compound and related chloride derivatives and the studies of the preliminary chemical vapor deposition have been carried out and are discussed.
