Materials Data on YGa2 by Materials Project
YGa2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing YGa12 cuboctahedra. All Y–Ga bond lengths are 3.19 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and three equivalent Ga atoms. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.43 Å.
