The crystal structure described by YNiGa4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), three equivalent Ga(2), four equivalent Ga(1), and six equivalent Ga(3) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(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 distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Ga(3), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent Y(1), one Ni(1), four equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(3) atoms. In the third Ga site, Ga(3) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Ni(1), one Ga(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and three equivalent Ga(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
