Materials Data on LaMgO3 by Materials Project
MgLaO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Mg–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. La is bonded to twelve equivalent O atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent MgO6 octahedra. All La–O bond lengths are 2.79 Å. O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Mg and four equivalent La atoms.
