LaH14(H2)3 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of nine 1333-74-0 molecules and three LaH14 clusters. In each LaH14 cluster, La(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent H(1), six equivalent H(2), and six equivalent H(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one La(1) atom. In the second H site, H(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(1) and one H(2) atom. In the third H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one La(1) and one H(3) atom.

In each LaH14 cluster, La(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent H(1), six equivalent H(2), and six equivalent H(3) atoms. Both La(1)-H(1) bond lengths are 2.24 Å. All La(1)-H(2) bond lengths are 2.50 Å. All La(1)-H(3) bond lengths are 2.40 Å. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one La(1) atom. In the second H site, H(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(1) and one H(2) atom. The H(3)-H(2) bond length is 0.80 Å. In the third H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one La(1) and one H(3) atom.
