Materials Data on LiLa3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiLa3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to twelve equivalent La atoms to form LiLa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LiLa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent LaLi4La8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LiLa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent LaLi4La8 cuboctahedra. All Li–La bond lengths are 3.62 Å. La is bonded to four equivalent Li and eight equivalent La atoms to form LaLi4La8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LaLi4La8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LiLa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent LaLi4La8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LiLa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent LaLi4La8 cuboctahedra. All La–La bond lengths are 3.62 Å.
