VNiGa is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. V(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form distorted NiV4Ga6 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ga(1)V4Ni6 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Ni(1)V4Ga6 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Ga(1)V4Ni6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ni(1)V4Ga6 tetrahedra. Ga(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form distorted GaV4Ni6 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ni(1)V4Ga6 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Ga(1)V4Ni6 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Ni(1)V4Ga6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ga(1)V4Ni6 tetrahedra.
