LaCu2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing LaCu12 cuboctahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
