The material structure described by V3Ga2N crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. V(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to six equivalent Ga(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to nine equivalent V(1) and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form GaV9Ga3 cuboctahedra that share corners with fifteen equivalent Ga(1)V9Ga3 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent N(1)V6 octahedra, faces with ten equivalent Ga(1)V9Ga3 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent N(1)V6 octahedra. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent V(1) atoms to form distorted NV6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent N(1)V6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Ga(1)V9Ga3 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Ga(1)V9Ga3 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 22°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
