LaPt3C is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form LaPt12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent La(1)Pt12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent La(1)Pt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent C(1)Pt6 octahedra. Pt(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PtLa4C2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form CPt6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent C(1)Pt6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent La(1)Pt12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.

All La(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Pt(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PtLa4C2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°. Both Pt(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.20 Å. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form CPt6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent C(1)Pt6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent La(1)Pt12 cuboctahedra.
