Materials Data on LaO3 by Materials Project
LaO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are three shorter (2.51 Å) and six longer (2.56 Å) La–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent La atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent La atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent La atoms.
