LaSbTe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeLa5 trigonal bipyramids.
LaSbTe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms.
