The material structure described by Li2Mn3GaO8 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra and corners with nine equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. Ga(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(2) atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1) and three equivalent Mn(1) atoms to form distorted OLiMn3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent O(1)LiMn3 trigonal pyramids, corners with nine equivalent O(2)LiMn2Ga trigonal pyramids, and edges with three equivalent O(2)LiMn2Ga trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Mn(1), and one Ga(1) atom to form distorted OLiMn2Ga trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent O(1)LiMn3 trigonal pyramids, corners with nine equivalent O(2)LiMn2Ga trigonal pyramids,  an edgeedge with one O(1)LiMn3 trigonal pyramid, and edges with two equivalent O(2)LiMn2Ga trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
