MgLa3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent La(1) atoms to form MgLa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mg(1)La12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent La(1)La8Mg4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Mg(1)La12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent La(1)La8Mg4 cuboctahedra. La(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent La(1) atoms to form LaLa8Mg4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent La(1)La8Mg4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Mg(1)La12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent La(1)La8Mg4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mg(1)La12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent La(1)La8Mg4 cuboctahedra.
