The complex (Me 2 AsS 2 ) 3 Ga ( 1 ) attracted water molecules that slowly and completely hydrolyzed it. The product was the dinuclear gallium compound (Me 2 AsS 2 ) 2 Ga–S–Ga(S 2 AsMe 2 ) 2 ( 2 ) as 2· 0.75H 2 O, which was structurally characterized with X‐ray crystallography ( P 2 1 2 1 2 1 , R 1 = 0.0321, wR 2 = 0.0622). Compound 2 shows an approximate non‐crystallographic twofold axis. The packing in the crystalline state is dictated by the mediation of crystallization water molecules, which connect the complex units through strong O–H ··· S and weak C–H ··· O hydrogen bonds into infinite zigzag chains.
