The crystal structure described by La5Pb3I crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pb(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pb(1) atoms. Pb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(2) and five equivalent La(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent La(1) atoms to form face-sharing ILa6 octahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
