Materials Data on LaF2 by Materials Project
LaF2 is Fluorite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent F1- atoms. All La–F bond lengths are 2.56 Å. F1- is bonded to four equivalent La2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FLa4 tetrahedra.
