Trimethylgallium, often abbreviated to TMG or TMGa, is the organogallium compound with the formula Ga(CH₃)₃. It is a colorless, pyrophoric liquid. Unlike trimethylaluminium, TMG adopts a monomeric structure. When examined in detail, the monomeric units are clearly linked by multiple weak Ga---C interactions, reminiscent of the situation for trimethylindium.
