La4Bi3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Bi(1) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BiLa8 hexagonal bipyramids.
La4Bi3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are three shorter (3.30 Å) and three longer (3.58 Å) La(1)-Bi(1) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BiLa8 hexagonal bipyramids.
