The structure described by LiCaGaN2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form distorted LiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ca(1)N6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ga(1)N4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent Ca(1)N6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Li(1)N4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Ga(1)N4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 23-61°. Ca(1) is bonded to three equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form CaN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Ga(1)N4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Ca(1)N6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent Ga(1)N4 tetrahedra.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 16-60°. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Ca(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Ca(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
