GaB2N3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ga(1) is bonded to one N(2), one N(4), and two equivalent N(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing GaN4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(3) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one N(4) atom. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(4) is bonded to two equivalent Ga(1) and two equivalent B(2) atoms to form corner-sharing NGa2B2 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent B(2) atoms. In the third N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ga(1), one B(1), and one B(2) atom. In the fourth N site, N(3) is bonded to two equivalent Ga(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NGa2B2 tetrahedra.
