Materials Data on CaGa4 by Materials Project
CaGa4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to sixteen Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca and five Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.66 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca and five Ga atoms. The Ga–Ga bond length is 2.91 Å.
