The crystal structure described by KLaNb4O12 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. K(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), four equivalent O(1), and four equivalent O(5) atoms to form distorted KO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent K(1)O12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra. La(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), four equivalent O(1), and four equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent K(1)O12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra. Nb(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent K(1)O12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-19°. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one K(1), one La(1), and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one K(1), one La(1), and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K(1), one La(1), and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
