The material structure described by V2Ga5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and eight equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing VV2Ga10 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1), one Ga(2), and five equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent V(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
