The Ga atom-ethylene complex, Ga(C/sub 2/H/sub 4/), was generated in argon matrices and its ESR spectrum was examined. The spectral analysis revealed that the complex has a side-on structure and is held by a dative interaction between the semifilled Ga 4p/sub x/ orbital and the antibonding ..pi../sub y/* orbital of ethylene. The g tensor and the /sup 69/Ga hyperfine tensor were determined as follows: g/sub x/ = 2.0031 (6), g/sub y/ = 1.9745 (6), g/sub z/ = 2.0235 (6), A/sub x/ = 92 (1) G, A/sub y/ = -40 (1) G, and A/sub z/ = -30 (1) G.
