The material structure described by MgGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ga(2) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing MgGa8 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
