Gallium(I) salts of weakly coordinating anions (WCAs), which are excellent sources of gallium in the oxidation state +1, are generated by a simple, high‐yielding route. These salts open new areas of low‐valent gallium chemistry that were previously inaccessible. In their Communication on page 3228 ff., I. Krossing, J. M. Slattery, and co‐workers describe a salt of the [Ga(PPh 3 ) 3 ] + ion as an example of a homoleptic gallium–phosphine complex.
