AlLa3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AlLa12 cuboctahedra.
AlLa3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. There are a spread of La(1)-La(1) bond distances ranging from 3.29-3.96 Å. There are two shorter (3.32 Å) and two longer (3.63 Å) La(1)-Al(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AlLa12 cuboctahedra.
