LaAg3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Ag(2) and eight equivalent Ag(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ag(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing AgLa4Ag4 tetrahedra. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and eight equivalent Ag(1) atoms.
