La7Rh3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. There are three inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second La site, La(3) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the third La site, La(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one La(1), two equivalent La(3), and three equivalent La(2) atoms.
La7Rh3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. There are three inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) atoms. All La(1)-Rh(1) bond lengths are 2.90 Å. In the second La site, La(3) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Rh(1) atoms. Both La(3)-Rh(1) bond lengths are 2.95 Å. In the third La site, La(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.89 Å) and two longer (3.05 Å) La(2)-Rh(1) bond lengths. Rh(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one La(1), two equivalent La(3), and three equivalent La(2) atoms.
