La Al Al Al Cl
LaAl3Cl is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms to form LaAl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent La(1)Al12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent La(1)Al12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Cl(1)Al6 octahedra. There are three shorter (3.53 Å) and nine longer (3.54 Å) La(1)-Al(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.50 Å) and one longer (2.51 Å) Al(1)-Cl(1) bond length. Cl(1) is bonded to six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form ClAl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cl(1)Al6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent La(1)Al12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
