Abstract	The 17 valence electron (VE) open-shell nickel gallanediyl complex [Cp^ArNi{Ga(nacnac)}] (3, Ar = C₅(C₆H₄-4-Et)₅, nacnac = HC[C(Me)N(C₆H₃-2,6-iPr₂)]₂), having an unsupported Ni–Ga bond, was synthesized from [Cp^ArNi(μ-Br)]₂ (1) by reducing the adduct [Cp^ArNi(μ-Br){Ga(nacnac)}] (2) or, alternatively, trapping the “Cp^ArNi^I” synthon with Ga(nacnac); spectroscopic and DFT studies showed that the single unpaired electron in 3 resides mainly at the Ni center.
