Compounds containing Ga–Ga bonds are true gallium(II) compounds, such as GaS (which can be formulated as Ga 2 4+ (S 2−) 2) and the dioxan complex Ga 2 Cl 4 (C 4 H 8 O 2) 2. [1] There are also compounds of gallium with negative oxidation states, ranging from -5 to -1, most of these compounds being magnesium gallides (Mg x Ga y).
