Gallium (I) fluoride is a chemical compound of the element gallium , which is only stable above 1000 ° C (in the gas phase ). This belongs to the group of halides .
properties
Gallium is found in gallium monohalides (also called gallylene) in the + I oxidation state . Gallium (I) compounds are highly unstable and are quickly oxidized to gallium (III) compounds .
Structure and evidence
Galium fluoride is a molecule with a triple bond. It can be formed at high temperatures and detected using high resolution continuum molecular absorption spectrometry .
Formation and decay
Molecules are formed around 1000 ° C by comproportioning . If the temperature drops, disproportionation to gallium and gallium trifluoride occurs immediately .
