The structure described by Gd3GaC is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent Ga(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form GaGd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ga(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ga(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent C(1)Gd6 octahedra. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form CGd6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent C(1)Gd6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ga(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
