W2Ga5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent W(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and eight equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing WGa10W2 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent W(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent W(1), one Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms.

W(1) is bonded to two equivalent W(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and eight equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing WGa10W2 cuboctahedra. Both W(1)-W(1) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Both W(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. There are four shorter (2.77 Å) and four longer (2.81 Å) W(1)-Ga(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent W(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. Both Ga(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. All Ga(1)-Ga(2) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent W(1), one Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.73 Å) Ga(2)-Ga(2) bond lengths.
