Nb2GaC is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ga(1) and three equivalent C(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nb(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CNb6 octahedra.
