The Materials Project

YbGa4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to sixteen Ga atoms. There are eight shorter (3.31 Å) and eight longer (3.45 Å) Yb–Ga bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and five Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.61 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded to four equivalent Yb and eight Ga atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing GaYb4Ga8 cuboctahedra. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 3.07 Å.
