Materials Data on LaOF by Materials Project
LaOF is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O2- and four equivalent F1- atoms. All La–O bond lengths are 2.50 Å. All La–F bond lengths are 2.50 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent La3+ atoms to form OLa4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent FLa4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent OLa4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent FLa4 tetrahedra. F1- is bonded to four equivalent La3+ atoms to form FLa4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent OLa4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent FLa4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent OLa4 tetrahedra.
