V2Cu3Ga8 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. V(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), one Cu(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Cu(1), and one Ga(2) atom. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Cu(1), and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms.
V2Cu3Ga8 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. V(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. All V(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths are 2.79 Å. There is one shorter (2.53 Å) and one longer (2.54 Å) V(1)-Ga(2) bond length. There are three shorter (2.54 Å) and three longer (2.55 Å) V(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), one Cu(1), two equivalent Ga(2), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. The Cu(1)-Cu(1) bond length is 2.80 Å. Both Cu(1)-Ga(2) bond lengths are 2.66 Å. There are a spread of Cu(1)-Ga(1) bond distances ranging from 2.53-2.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Cu(1), and one Ga(2) atom. The Ga(1)-Ga(2) bond length is 2.69 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Cu(1), and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms.
