The structure described by LiVGaO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 57-61°. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(3) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(3) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra. Ga(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one V(2), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(1), one V(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OLiVGa2 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one V(1), one V(2), and one Ga(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
