The structure described by TmNi3Ga2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm(1) is bonded in a hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ni(2) atoms. In the second Tm site, Tm(2) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1), six equivalent Ni(2), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Tm(2), four equivalent Ni(2), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing NiTm4Ga4Ni4 cuboctahedra. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Tm(1), two equivalent Tm(2), two equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tm(2), two equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent Ni(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
