The material structure described by Sc5Ga3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are four inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ga(1) and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ga(1) and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the third Sc site, Sc(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ga(1) and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the fourth Sc site, Sc(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ga(1) and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Sc(2), two equivalent Sc(3), and two equivalent Sc(4) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Sc(3), two equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Sc(4), four equivalent Sc(2), and one Ga(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
