The compound described by Pd3Ga is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Pd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form distorted PdGa4Pd8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ga(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Pd(1)Ga4Pd8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Ga(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ga4Pd8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ga(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Pd(1)Ga4Pd8 cuboctahedra. Ga(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form GaPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ga(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ga4Pd8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Pd(1)Ga4Pd8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Ga(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ga4Pd8 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
