The crystal structure described by La3RuO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are three inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(7) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(6), two equivalent O(4), and two equivalent O(7) atoms. In the third La site, La(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(6), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(6) atom. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(7) is bonded to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent La(2) atoms to form OLa4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(1)La4Ru trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent O(7)La4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one O(1)La4Ru trigonal bipyramid. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded to one La(1), one La(2), two equivalent La(3), and one Ru(1) atom to form distorted OLa4Ru trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent O(7)La4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(7)La4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one O(1)La4Ru trigonal bipyramid. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one La(1), one La(2), one La(3), and one Ru(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one La(1), one La(2), one La(3), and one Ru(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(2) and one Ru(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one La(1), two equivalent La(3), and one Ru(1) atom. In the seventh O site, O(6) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one La(1), one La(2), one La(3), and one Ru(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
