Ba2LaRuO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and eight equivalent O(2) atoms. La(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form LaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ru(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-17°. Ru(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent La(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-17°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one La(1), and one Ru(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one La(1), and one Ru(1) atom.
