Materials Data on Ta3Ga2 by Materials Project
Ta3Ga2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.62 Å) and four longer (2.75 Å) Ta–Ga bond lengths. In the second Ta site, Ta is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Ga atoms. All Ta–Ga bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Ta and one Ga atom. The Ga–Ga bond length is 2.47 Å.
