Materials Data on V3Ga2 by Materials Project
V3Ga2 is beta-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.70 Å) and four longer (2.77 Å) V–V bond lengths. There are a spread of V–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.79 Å. Ga is bonded to nine equivalent V and three equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing GaV9Ga3 cuboctahedra. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.46 Å.
