There are four shorter (2.76 Å) and eight longer (2.79 Å) Sm–O bond lengths. There are five inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.78 Å) and eight longer (2.80 Å) La–O bond lengths. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.81 Å. In the third La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.81 Å. In the fourth La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.78 Å) and eight longer (2.80 Å) La–O bond lengths. In the fifth La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.78 Å) and eight longer (2.80 Å) La–O bond lengths. Mn+3.25+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, a faceface with one SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–1.98 Å. Fe+2.75+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, a faceface with one SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (1.98 Å) Fe–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Fe+2.75+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Mn+3.25+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Sm3+, three La3+, and two equivalent Fe+2.75+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Sm3+, three La3+, and two equivalent Mn+3.25+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Sm3+, three La3+, one Mn+3.25+, and one Fe+2.75+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+, one Mn+3.25+, and one Fe+2.75+ atom.
