MgLaGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ga(1) and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. La(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ga(2) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and three equivalent La(1) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent La(1) atoms.
