LaNiGa crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), one Ni(1), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to six equivalent La(1), four equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing GaLa6Ga2Ni4 cuboctahedra.
