As far as possible and customary, SI units are used. Unless otherwise noted, the data given apply to standard conditions .

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 .
