The crystal structure described by Ba2LaNb5O15 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one O(5), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(4) atoms. La(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) and eight equivalent O(2) atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share faces with two equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Nb(2)O6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 9-40°. In the second Nb site, Nb(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(5) and four equivalent O(4) atoms to form corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-37°. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one Nb(1), and one Nb(2) atom. In the third O site, O(5) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Nb(2) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ba(1), one La(1), and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
