The crystal structure described by YbNiGa4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(3) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), one Ga(2), and six equivalent Ga(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(3) atoms. In the third Ga site, Ga(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
