Materials Data on La4Bi3 by Materials Project
La4Bi3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded to six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing LaBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–49°. There are three shorter (3.32 Å) and three longer (3.54 Å) La–Bi bond lengths. Bi is bonded to eight equivalent La atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BiLa8 hexagonal bipyramids.
