Nd2Ni2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing GaNd8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
Nd2Ni2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and four longer (3.02 Å) Nd(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.20 Å) and two longer (3.32 Å) Nd(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.58 Å) and one longer (2.82 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond length. Both Ni(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.55 Å. Ga(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing GaNd8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
