The structure described by LiGa3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing LiGa12 cuboctahedra. Ga(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
