3. The Use of Density Functional Theory To Understand and Predict Structures and Bonding in Main Group Compounds with Multiple Bonds
4. The Na–Ph interactions in this compound are thought [3] to be partially responsible for the relatively short, calculated Ga–Ga distance of 2.36 Å. This bond length is in reasonable agreement with the ca. 2.32 Å Ga–Ga distance observed in Na2(GaC6H3–2,6-Trip2)2: J. Su, X–W Li, R.C. Crittendon, G.H. Robinson, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 119 (1997) 547.
