LaNi3.0Co2.0 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1), four equivalent Co(1), and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiLa4Co4Ni4 cuboctahedra.
