LaWN3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent N(1) atoms. W(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing WN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 21°. N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms.
