Gallium(I) oxide, digallium monoxide or gallium suboxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Ga2O.
Production
Gallium(I) oxide can be produced by reacting gallium(III) oxide with heated gallium in vacuum:

{\displaystyle \mathrm {Ga_{2}O_{3}+4\ Ga\longrightarrow 3\ Ga_{2}O} }
It can also be obtained by reacting gallium with carbon dioxide in vacuum at 850 °C.

Properties
Gallium(I) oxide is a brown-black diamagnetic solid which is resistant to further oxidation in dry air. It starts decomposing upon heating at temperatures above 500 °C, and the decomposition rate depends on the atmosphere (vacuum, inert gas, air).
