The material structure described by LaAu3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing LaAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Au(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
