Materials Data on LaGaO3 by Materials Project
LaGaO3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.41 Å) and six longer (2.79 Å) La–O bond lengths. Ga3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form corner-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 22°. All Ga–O bond lengths are 2.00 Å. O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Ga3+ atoms.
