LaNiO3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent O(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
LaNiO3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.43 Å) and six longer (2.71 Å) La(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. All Ni(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.94 Å. O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
