The compound described by YbGa4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ga(1) and eight equivalent Ga(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1), one Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded to four equivalent Yb(1), four equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing GaYb4Ga8 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
