Reductive elimination of [AlH<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> from a cationic Ga–Al dihydride

Abstract
A heterobimetallic dihydride cation with a covalent Al–Ga bond forms by formal oxidative addition of [AlH 2 ] + to Ga( i ). The reverse reaction is initiated by coordination of THF or NHC, but does not occur for the Al–Al bonded homobimetallic analogue.
