Y2Co2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing GaY8Co4 cuboctahedra.
Y2Co2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.98 Å) and two longer (2.99 Å) Y(1)-Co(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.03 Å) and two longer (3.43 Å) Y(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths. Co(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Co(1)-Co(1) bond length. Both Co(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.52 Å. Ga(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing GaY8Co4 cuboctahedra.
