LaNiO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing OLa4Ni2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-66°.
