LaPd2Ga3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and twelve equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing GaLa4Pd4 cuboctahedra.
