The t BuGaC1 2 unit of the Ga 3 P 4 cage compound 1 behaves simultaneously as a Lewis acid and a Lewis base. In this formal approach the lone electron pairs of two phosphorus atoms stabilize the Lewis acidic gallium atom of this unit and two chloro bridges stemming from it stabilize the Lewis acidic gallium atoms of the t BuGa(P t Bu) 2 units. The compound 1 is accessible from t BuGaCl 2 and K 2 [ t BuPP t Bu].
