GdLaC4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a distorted q4 geometry to four equivalent C(2) and six equivalent C(1) atoms. La(1) is bonded in a distorted q4 geometry to four equivalent C(1) and six equivalent C(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent La(1), and one C(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd(1), three equivalent La(1), and one C(2) atom.
GdLaC4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a distorted q4 geometry to four equivalent C(2) and six equivalent C(1) atoms. All Gd(1)-C(2) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. There are two shorter (2.57 Å) and four longer (2.80 Å) Gd(1)-C(1) bond lengths. La(1) is bonded in a distorted q4 geometry to four equivalent C(1) and six equivalent C(2) atoms. All La(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. There are two shorter (2.58 Å) and four longer (2.80 Å) La(1)-C(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent La(1), and one C(1) atom. The C(1)-C(1) bond length is 1.30 Å. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd(1), three equivalent La(1), and one C(2) atom. The C(2)-C(2) bond length is 1.30 Å.
