Digallane (systematically named digallane(6) and di-μ-hydrido-bis(dihydridogallium)) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2Ga(μ-H)2GaH2 (also written Ga2H4(μ-H)2 or Ga2H6). It is the dimer of the monomeric compound gallane. The eventual preparation of the pure compound reported in 1989was hailed as a tour de force. Digallane had been reported as early as 1941 by Wiberg; however this claim could not be verified by later work by Greenwood and others.
