Materials Data on YGa3 by Materials Project
YGa3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing YGa12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.06 Å) and six longer (3.16 Å) Y–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.79 Å) and four longer (2.80 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths.
