The material described by GdGa3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing GdGa12 cuboctahedra. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
