La is alpha La structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded to six equivalent La(1) and six equivalent La(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing LaLa12 cuboctahedra. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded to six equivalent La(1) and six equivalent La(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing LaLa12 cuboctahedra.

In the first La site, La(1) is bonded to six equivalent La(1) and six equivalent La(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing LaLa12 cuboctahedra. All La(1)-La(1) bond lengths are 3.80 Å. All La(1)-La(2) bond lengths are 3.72 Å. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded to six equivalent La(1) and six equivalent La(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing LaLa12 cuboctahedra. All La(2)-La(2) bond lengths are 3.80 Å.
