LaAuO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. La(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent La(1) and one Au(1) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLa3Au tetrahedra.
LaAuO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. La(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. Both La(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.65 Å. There are a spread of La(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.42-2.56 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Both Au(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.02 Å. Both Au(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.98 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms.
