The material structure described by CaGa2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded to one O(2), two equivalent O(4), and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-59°. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-59°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ca(1) and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCa2Ga3 trigonal bipyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ca(1), one Ga(1), and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCa2Ga3 trigonal bipyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent Ca(1) and three equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OCa2Ga3 square pyramids. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca(1), one Ga(2), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
