Phenalenyl-based N,N-bidentate ligand-stabilized monovalent gallium(I) complex 1 was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopies, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and theoretical calculations. In solution, complex 1 has a high thermal stability at 80 °C, with an absorption maximum at 505 nm. Complex 1 promotes the oxidative addition of I-I, Si-Cl, C-I, and S-S bonds and oxidative cyclization with various π components. Complex 1 can also coordinate to a tungsten complex to form a Ga-W bond.
