LaRh3Ni2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Rh(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhLa4Ni4 cuboctahedra. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Rh(1) atoms.
