Materials Data on Ga3Ni2 by Materials Project
Ni2Ga3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ni atoms.
