The crystal structure described by La(NO2)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one La(1) and one N(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one N(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
