[GaCl2(pyrazole)4]+Cl- and [GaCl2(pyrazole)4]+GaCl4 - are formed in the reaction of pyrazole and anhydrous gallium trichloride in toluene/diethyl ether. The crystal structure of the chloride salt shows cations in a trans-conufiguration which are associated with the chloride counterions through N-H- -Cl hydrogen bonds.
