摘要
Theoretical calculations are carried out to investigate the Ga-Ga bond in the title compound, whose description as the first example of a triple bond between group 13 elements has sparked considerable interest. The short Ga-Ga bond length is found to be the result of several factors, including Na-terphenyl and terphenyl-terphenyl ionic interactions, direct Ga-Na-Ga bridge bonding, and adjustments in the C-Ga-Ga angles due to the steric requirements of the i-Pr groups on the bulky m-terphenyl ligands.
