YbGa2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms.
YbGa2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are six shorter (2.91 Å) and six longer (3.29 Å) Yb(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.62 Å) and one longer (2.88 Å) Ga(1)-Ga(1) bond length.
