LaCuO3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 16°. O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
