Materials Data on NaLa3 by Materials Project
NaLa3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded to twelve equivalent La atoms to form NaLa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NaLa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent LaNa4La8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent NaLa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent LaNa4La8 cuboctahedra. All Na–La bond lengths are 3.72 Å. La is bonded to four equivalent Na and eight equivalent La atoms to form LaNa4La8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LaNa4La8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent NaLa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent LaNa4La8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent NaLa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent LaNa4La8 cuboctahedra. All La–La bond lengths are 3.72 Å.
