Zr(VGa2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to twelve Ga(1,1,1,1,1) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and eight Ga(1,1,1,1,1) atoms. There are five inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1); four equivalent V(1); and four Ga(1,1) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1); four equivalent V(1); and four Ga(1,1) atoms. In the third Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1); four equivalent V(1); and four Ga(1,1,1) atoms. In the fourth Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1); four equivalent V(1); and four Ga(1,1) atoms. In the fifth Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1); four equivalent V(1); and four Ga(1,1) atoms.
Zr(VGa2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to twelve Ga(1,1,1,1,1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.76 Å) and eight longer (3.14 Å) Zr(1)-Ga(1,1,1,1,1) bond lengths. V(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and eight Ga(1,1,1,1,1) atoms. Both V(1)-V(1) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. All V(1)-Ga(1,1,1,1,1) bond lengths are 2.66 Å. There are five inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1); four equivalent V(1); and four Ga(1,1) atoms.
