LaBWO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(6), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(4), and three equivalent O(5) atoms. W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing WO5 trigonal bipyramids. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(5) and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one W(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one La(1) and one W(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one La(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one W(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent La(1) and one B(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one La(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
