ScNiGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni(1) and ten equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sc(1), three equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms.
ScNiGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni(1) and ten equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.68 Å) and two longer (2.89 Å) Sc(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Sc(1)-Ga(1) bond distances ranging from 2.85-3.12 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.43 Å) and four longer (2.47 Å) Ni(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sc(1), three equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (2.70 Å) Ga(1)-Ga(1) bond length.
