Zusammenfassung:
YbGa5 was characterized in course of a re-investigation of the Yb-Ga system in the range between 0 and 20 at. % Yb. The compound can be described as a defect variant of the Ce2Ga10Ni structure type (space group 14/mmm, a = 430.59(4) pm, c = 2587.1(4) pm). The special feature of the crystal structure is given by local disorder within the gallium network. From magnetic susceptibility, ytterbium is in the valence state 2+.
