LaPd2Ga2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), four equivalent Pd(2), four equivalent Ga(1), and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), one Ga(2), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), one Pd(2), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
