LiYGa4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ga(1) and six equivalent Ga(2) atoms. Y(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ga(1) and six equivalent Ga(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Y(1), one Ga(1), and three equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Y(1), and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms.
