The compound described by La3ScO6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(4), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted LaO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share  a cornercorner with one Sc(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent La(2)O7 pentagonal bipyramids, and  an edgeedge with one Sc(1)O4 tetrahedra. Sc(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted ScO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one La(2)O7 pentagonal bipyramid and  an edgeedge with one La(2)O7 pentagonal bipyramid. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) 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)La4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent O(4)La3Sc tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent O(2)La3Sc trigonal pyramids, edges with three equivalent O(1)La4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one O(2)La3Sc trigonal pyramid. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one La(2), two equivalent La(1), and one Sc(1) atom to form distorted OLa3Sc trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent O(4)La3Sc tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent O(1)La4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent O(2)La3Sc trigonal pyramids,  an edgeedge with one O(4)La3Sc tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(1)La4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one O(2)La3Sc trigonal pyramid. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent La(1) and one Sc(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to one La(2), two equivalent La(1), and one Sc(1) atom to form distorted OLa3Sc tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent O(1)La4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent O(2)La3Sc trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent O(2)La3Sc trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
