LaWN3 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) and four equivalent N(2) atoms. W(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one N(2) and four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent La(1) and one W(1) atom.
