Gallium monofluoride is an inorganic compound with the formula GaF. The compound has only been observed in the gas-phase. [1]

It can be generated by the oxidation of gallium with either aluminum fluoride or calcium fluoride. [2]

Research

In 2011, a group of Brazilian and German researchers used the molecular absorption of fluorogallium created in a graphite furnace to determine that 5.2 picograms of fluorine is the smallest detectable portion of the element. [3]

Its ionization energy is 10.64 eV. [4]
