LaH3(SO4)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(2), three equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. S(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one La(1) and one S(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one H(1) and one S(1) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one La(1) and one S(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one La(1) and one S(1) atom.
