The material structure described by MgGa2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing MgMg5Ga7 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and five equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1), one Ga(2), and five equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
