The compound described by LaSiAs3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one As(6), two equivalent As(1), two equivalent As(2), two equivalent As(3), and two equivalent As(4) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one As(5), two equivalent As(1), two equivalent As(2), two equivalent As(3), and two equivalent As(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded to one As(2), one As(6), and two equivalent As(5) atoms to form corner-sharing SiAs4 tetrahedra. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded to one As(1), one As(5), and two equivalent As(6) atoms to form corner-sharing SiAs4 tetrahedra. There are six inequivalent As sites. In the first As site, As(5) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one La(2), one Si(2), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second As site, As(6) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one La(1), one Si(1), and two equivalent Si(2) atoms. In the third As site, As(1) is bonded to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent La(2), and one Si(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing AsLa4Si trigonal bipyramids. In the fourth As site, As(2) is bonded to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent La(2), and one Si(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing AsLa4Si trigonal bipyramids. In the fifth As site, As(3) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent La(2), and two equivalent As(4) atoms. In the sixth As site, As(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent La(2), and two equivalent As(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
